What MITRE ATLAS AI Service API (AML.T0096) - Adversarial AI Service API threat to AI systems requires
This node addresses MITRE ATLAS technique AML.T0096 (AI Service API). Adversaries may communicate using the API of an AI service on the victim's system. The adversary's commands to the victim system, and often the results, are embedded in the normal traffic of the AI service. An AI service API command and control channel is covert because the adversary's commands blend in with normal communications, so an adversary may use this technique to avoid detection. Using existing infrastructure on the victim's system allows the adversary to live off the land, further reducing their footprint. AI service APIs may be abused as C2 channels when an adversary wants to be stealthy and maintain long-term persistence for espionage activities [[microsoft]]. Defending against this technique is required under EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 obligations; this node operationalises the documented ATLAS mitigations and cross-instrument controls into a deterministic verification workflow.
