原文アブストラクト
Modern image editors combine vision-language models (VLMs) with diffusion transformer backbones to modify a single reference image according to instructions without fine-tuning. This capability also enables unauthorized manipulation of publicly released images. Existing inference-time defenses either invalidate edits through conspicuous corruption, thereby exposing the protection, or allow them to proceed with identity or reference content drift, thereby failing to prevent the editing behavior itself. We instead target a stealthy and harmless no-op in which the requested edit is suppressed, the output remains natural and source-preserving without conspicuous artifacts or identity replacement, and harmful semantics requested by malicious instructions are absent. We propose NullEdit, which targets the VLM representation jointly formed from the reference image and instruction before it conditions the downstream DiT backbone. Using normal-edit and no-edit anchors, NullEdit redirects this representation, while cross-prompt gradient averaging transfers protection to held out instructions. Across Step1X-Edit and Qwen-Image-Edit on CelebA-HQ and VGGFace2, NullEdit reduces the EditReward IF score by 0.813 on average relative to the SOTA baseline while preserving subject identity and source content.
