Minghao Luo and Liang Chen's benchmark spans 225 real products across 15 categories, and every tested search-augmented LLM could be manipulated into recommending fake products (arXiv). A single polluted page yields fooled rates up to 27%; replacing the top-3 retrieved pages pushes it to 73.8%. The nastiest finding: reasoning models generate "spurious social proof" to justify the false picks. Reasoning amplifies the attack instead of catching it. If you're shipping RAG over open web content, this is your Agentjacking analog. Retrieved content is untrusted input.
