Is it possible to create an adversarial example without access to the weights of a model, and without being able to forward many images through it?

One method of creating adversarial examples in a "black box" setting is to create and train a local model as a stand-in for the actual model using the inputs and outputs of the actual model. [1] So, the answer is "no" but a qualified "no" since in practice this seems to work. The second part, being able to forward many images, is also a qualified "no".
