Inference Cost Attacks for Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models

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.

Zero-Shot Embedding Drift Detection: A Lightweight Defense Against Prompt Injections in LLMs

arXiv:2601. 12359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt injection attacks have become an increasing vulnerability for LLM applications, where adversarial prompts exploit indirect input channels such as emails or user-generated content to circumvent alignment safeguards and induce harmful or unintended outputs.
