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.

arXiv:2607. 15267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Poisoning pretraining data can introduce harmful behaviors to LMs that are difficult to detect and mitigate.

arXiv:2605. 12887v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Web-enabled LLM agents are changing how online information influences search outcomes.
By Hengwei Ye, Jiasheng Mao, Zhenhan Guan, Zheng Tian
arXiv:2608. 04565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based search agents are widely used for information-seeking tasks, but their reliance on external tool returns introduces a critical security risk: web content retrieved during execution is untrusted, exposing agents to prompt injection and goal hijacking.

arXiv:2606. 16100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) APIs become ubiquitous, users increasingly rely on black-box fingerprinting to verify that providers are serving the advertised premium models.

arXiv:2412. 20802v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recommender systems are widely used in the digital landscape to match users with content fitting their preferences.
By Aurore Archimbaud, Andreas Alfons, Ines Wilms
arXiv:2606. 02643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-enhanced LLM systems, while powerful, introduce substantial inference costs due to the inclusion of an extra multi-stage pipeline that dynamically retrieves and synthesizes information from external knowledge sources.
