New CRCP framework targets RAG corpus poisoning attacks

Researchers have developed a new framework called CRCP to address corpus poisoning attacks in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Existing attacks often fail when faced with realistic RAG pipelines that include chunking and reranking stages. CRCP aims to overcome this by optimizing for retrieval relevance, reranker consistency, and robustness across chunk boundaries, demonstrating significantly higher attack success rates in experiments.

    When Poison Fails After Retrieval: Revisiting Corpus Poisoning under Chunking and Reranking Pipelines

    arXiv:2606.11265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are vulnerable to corpus poisoning attacks that manipulate downstream model outputs through malicious knowledge injection. Existing studies mainly evaluate poisoning under simplified re…
