Security guidance for contexts that are shared, retained or insufficiently scoped across users, agents and workflows.
Liu et al. · TACL
Shows that language models often use relevant information less reliably when it is positioned in the middle of long inputs.
Chroma Research
Evaluates 18 models and documents non-uniform performance degradation as input length increases.
Niu et al. · ACL
Examines a mechanism through which irrelevant tokens already present in context pull later model generations towards them.
Lin & Liu · arXiv
Proposes compositional behavioural leakage as a measurable form of interference between prompt modules sharing a context window.
Dash et al. · arXiv
Studies how a single adversarial memory write can retain influence across later agent interactions.
Recurring architecture pattern
A shared vector index returns chunks belonging to another tenant because access policy is absent or applied after retrieval.
