Challenge: Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) enhances the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) however, traditional RAG attacks are difficult to pose an effective threat to GraphRAg systems.
Approach: They propose a novel attack framework that targets logical reasoning rather than injecting false contents into GraphRAG systems by grounding their responses in structured knowledge graphs.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art attacks on GraphRAG systems in both effectiveness and stealth.
