However, the open release of EEG foundation encoders, while facilitating downstream developments, also introduces a previously unexplored security risk: publicly available representations may make private downstream models vulnerable. This paper investigates adversarial transfer attacks in EEG foundation model deployment in a public-encoder and private-downstream setting, where attackers have white-box access to a released encoder and a small task-matched labeled reference set, but no access or query to victim parameters, outputs, or gradients. We propose Shrinkage-Whitened Proxy Cross-Entropy (SW-ProxyCE), a query-free task-aware attack framework that recovers task-level decision geometry from a small labeled reference set through shrinkage-whitened class prototypes, enabling transferable adversarial generation without training an additional surrogate classifier. We evaluated SW-ProxyCE across three EEG tasks using three general-purpose foundation encoders and a paradigm-specific pre-trained encoder, covering both linear-probing and full-fine-tuning downstream models in cross-subject and within-subject scenarios. Results demonstrated that adversarial examples generated from the public encoder and limited labeled references can effectively transfer to inaccessible downstream models. SW-ProxyCE consistently outperformed task-agnostic representation-shift attacks, revealing that the strong transferability of EEG foundation models does not necessarily lead to adversarial robustness. Our code will be available on GitHub.
