arXiv:2606. 09204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a reproducible failure mode of safety training in RAG-based LLM recommendation -- the Injection Paradox -- in which prompt injections embedded in retrieved documents backfire against the attacker, suppressing the target brand below the injection-free baseline.

VerTox is a framework that turns corpus poisoning of neural ranking models into a verifiable reward‑guided reinforcement learning problem. By fine‑tuning compact large language models with reward shaping that couples ranking distortion and factual corruption, VerTox generates fluent, low‑perplexity adversarial documents that frequently outrank target items across multiple ranking architectures, including a commercial embedding model. Experiments show near‑perfect attack success and significant degradation of downstream retrieval‑augmented generation performance.
arXiv:2404. 01356v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations that can simultaneously degrade prediction robustness and individual fairness across diverse application settings.
The paper introduces FORGE, a benchmark that rewrites real product pages into fake ones to test how often search‑augmented large language models (LLMs) recommend these polluted items. Across 12 commercial and open‑weight LLMs, a single polluted page can lead to up to 27% of recommendations being fake, rising to 73.8% when the top‑3 replacements are used. The study finds that reasoning does not help and existing defenses—skepticism prompts, consensus filters, and credibility re‑ranking—are largely ineffective.
