Awakening the Hydra: Stabilizing Multi-Concept Backdoor Injection in Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly developed through open-source reuse and repeated downstream fine-tuning, where reused checkpoints are difficult to verify and thus more susceptible to hidden backdoor behaviors. In such ecosystems, a single pretrained model may be sequentially adapted and redistributed by multiple independent parties, allowing multiple concept-specific trigger-target associations to accumulate in the same model. When these associations coexist, semantic conflicts can be amplified in the shared representation space, leading to cross-concept entanglement and degraded generation quality. Notably, instead of strengthening the attack, such accumulation can destabilize previously injected behaviors and reduce attack reliability. In this work, we systematically investigate backdoor attacks under this interference-prone setting and propose Hydra, a unified framework for robust and controlled multi-concept backdoor injection under cumulative and decentralized reuse. Our core insight is that stable backdoor injection under large-scale multi-concept settings requires explicitly constraining trigger semantics while coordinating cross-task interactions during optimization. Specifically, Hydra performs evolutionary trigger search in the text encoder space to identify triggers that are semantically aligned with their target concepts while remaining stable across other injected concepts. It further combines multi-task fine-tuning with trigger-clean regularization to improve training stability under dense multi-concept injection. Extensive experiments across multiple diffusion backbones under rigorous multi-concept settings show that Hydra maintains effective backdoor activation while preserving clean generation fidelity and image quality. For instance, across 8 attackers and 500 concept pairs, Hydra maintains ~95% ASR and strong clean generation.
