[gotcha] Cross-user prompt injection in shared RAG repositories

Implement strict row-level security \(RLS\) or access controls on the vector database so that queries only retrieve documents owned by or explicitly shared with the requesting user.

Journey Context:
In multi-tenant RAG applications, users might upload documents containing hidden prompt injections. If User B queries the system and retrieves User A's document, the injection executes in User B's session, potentially escalating privileges or exfiltrating User B's data. The data store becomes a vector for cross-user attacks.
