Тестирование безопасности RAG-систем

Updated Jul 2026

Поверхность атаки RAG

Системы Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) вводят уникальную поверхность атаки на стыке поиска и генерации. Пайплайн извлечения может быть отравлен, ссылки могут быть сфабрикованы, а ограничения контекстного окна создают уязвимости усечения. Каждый этап RAG-пайплайна имеет свои специфичные угрозы.

Непрямое внедрение промптов через RAG

Лучшие практики безопасности RAG

1. Санитизация контента при загрузке. Удаляйте скрытый HTML, невидимые символы и известные паттерны внедрения перед сохранением документов в векторное хранилище.

2. Уровни доверия документов. Разделяйте доверенные (документация компании) и недоверенные (загрузки пользователей) документы. Применяйте более строгую фильтрацию к недоверенным источникам.

3. Верификация цитирования. Реализуйте автоматические проверки того, что ссылки указывают на реальные документы и что цитируемый текст действительно присутствует в источнике.

4. Управление контекстным окном. Реализуйте явные стратегии обработки переполнения: усечение на основе релевантности, суммаризацию и уведомление пользователя.

5. Сканирование вывода. Применяйте тот же сканер утечек данных к ответам RAG, что и к любому другому выводу LLM.

6. Мониторинг извлечения. Логируйте, какие документы извлекаются и используются для каждого запроса. Аномальные паттерны извлечения (один документ появляется в каждом запросе) могут указывать на отравление.

Безопасность RAG — это быстро развивающаяся область. По мере усложнения архитектур RAG (многоэтапное извлечение, агентный RAG) поверхность атаки растёт. Тестируйте рано, тестируйте часто и мониторьте в продакшене.
