Why it matters
RAG architecture introduces security boundaries where poisoned or untrusted retrieved content can steer model output, leak sensitive data, or trigger unsafe tool use, which defenders building LLM pipelines must account for.
A glossary entry from NHI Mgmt Group defines RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) architecture and explains how its retrieval step expands the LLM attack surface through prompt injection in retrieved text, data poisoning, and context leakage. The reference material describes design controls such as corpus governance, retrieval scoping, allowlisting, and treating retrieved content as data rather than authority.
