RAG Security Survey seeks field reports

A researcher is collecting anonymous reports on real-world security failures in RAG systems, with an emphasis on embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and agentic pipelines. The survey aims to replace theoretical debate with concrete deployment experience from people who have actually shipped these systems.

// ANALYSIS

This reads like a useful field-gathering exercise, not a product launch, and the topic is timely because RAG security failures tend to show up only after teams go live.

  • The survey targets the right failure modes: access control gaps, prompt injection, poisoning, retrieval weirdness, and stale or sensitive data resurfacing after deletion
  • It is especially relevant for teams using multi-step or agentic RAG, where each additional hop expands the attack surface
  • The focus on anonymous, aggregated responses should lower the barrier for practitioners to share uncomfortable incidents
  • If the researcher gets enough responses, the results could be more actionable than the usual abstract “RAG is insecure” takes
  • The main limitation is selection bias: respondents will likely skew toward security-conscious builders and more painful incidents
