Cascade introduces a CVE-style taxonomy of attack gadgets composable across the software and hardware stack underlying compound AI pipelines. The key insight: classic CVE-documented software flaws, combined with hardware-level side-channels, create amplified threat surfaces unique to multi-model AI systems. Builders of LLM pipelines must treat every dependency layer — not just model inputs — as an attack surface. If you run RAG with a vector database on shared infrastructure, Cascade's taxonomy will show you threat paths you haven't considered.
