In RAG We Trust? Measuring Robustness of Retrieval-Augmented Generation Under Post-Retrieval Context Tampering

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds a language model in retrieved documents, which reduces hallucination but creates a new attack surface: if retrieved text is tampered with, the model may repeat the falsehood. We study how much a small quantized model, Llama 3.1 8B, deg...
