T0048 (Backdoor ML Model).
Train or fine-tune a backdoored model that activates on a hidden trigger.
Last reviewed June 2026
Backdoor ML Model sits in the persistence surface, and MITRE ATLAS rates it critical. Train or fine-tune a backdoored model that activates on a hidden trigger. For teams shipping LLM and agentic features, a control like this is only as good as the evidence that it was actually tested - an unverified control is a finding waiting for an auditor.
Penaxtra maps its probe families to this ATLAS technique, so adversarial activity matching backdoor ml model surfaces as a finding carrying the AML.T0048 technique identifier - ready for ATT&CK-style threat tracking and reporting. Every relevant finding is created with the MITRE ATLAS AML.T0048 identifier already attached, so it lands in the audit-evidence pack mapped to the control rather than as a screenshot someone has to translate later. Where the same weakness touches another framework, the cross-framework overlap means one finding satisfies several control cells at once.
T0048 (Backdoor ML Model).
T0048 control identifier.
Findings for AML.T0048 carry the MITRE ATLAS AML.T0048 identifier and cross-map to the related controls in the other five frameworks Penaxtra covers.
Train or fine-tune a backdoored model that activates on a hidden trigger. It is part of MITRE ATLAS, rated critical.

Yes. Each finding is tagged with the MITRE ATLAS AML.T0048 control identifier and exported in the PDF and JSON evidence pack, so it maps straight onto the auditor control list instead of needing manual translation.
