Walking the Embedding Space: Datastore Extraction from Multimodal RAG
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.01871v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MRAG) has emerged as a reliable and cost-effective technique of grounding the generative capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) into relevant, up-to-date, external knowledge. Despite presenting several benefits, such as reducing hallucinatory behavior, they also introduce new attack surfaces, including leakage of private information and vulnerabilities against data extraction attacks. In this paper, we introduce $\immrag$, an adaptive and automatic data extraction attack procedure ope
