Why it matters
Enterprise RAG systems that treat their document stores as trusted infrastructure expose their models to instruction injection from anyone who can write to an indexed source, making provenance and source-trust tiering essential defensive controls.
Sprinklenet analysis explains how indirect prompt injection threatens enterprise RAG deployments, arriving not through the chat box but through poisoned corpus content — vendor PDFs with hidden white-on-white text, phishing-quoted support tickets, or crawled web pages — that competes with the system prompt once retrieval pulls it into context. The piece recommends architectural defenses: isolating retrieved content from instructions, allowlisting tool calls, tiering source trust, filtering outputs, running an injection evaluation suite, and logging prompts and completions.
