Researchers have developed E-MIA, a novel method for conducting membership inference attacks against Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. This technique converts verifiable evidence from a target document into an exam format with four question types, using the aggregated exam score as a signal to infer if the document is part of the RAG system's knowledge base. E-MIA aims to improve the separability of member and non-member scores in strict settings while maintaining stealthy queries, outperforming existing methods that rely on less stable signals or conspicuous probes.
