Eyes-on-Me: Scalable RAG Poisoning through Transferable Attention-Steering Attractors

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2510. 00586v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing data poisoning attacks on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems scale poorly because they require costly optimization of poisoned documents for each target phrase.

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.

Corrupting Attention: Evasion-Based Adversarial Attacks on Encoder Attention in Detection Transformers

arXiv:2608. 06674v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial vulnerabilities remain a major concern for the safe deployment of neural networks, particularly in object detection, a core task embedded in many safety-critical systems.

RAGuard: A Layered Defense Framework for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems Against Data Poisoning

arXiv:2607. 26339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems ground large language models (LLMs) in external corpora, but this reliance exposes them to corpus poisoning: maliciously injected passages that manipulate retrieved evidence.
