Hidden in the Comments: A Context-Injection Attack Surface in Code LLMs

Code large language model (Code LLM) assistants generate code from heterogeneous development contexts, including open files, imported modules, pasted snippets, and comments, much of which may originate from untrusted sources. We investigate whether insecure instructions embedded in such contexts can steer Code LLMs tow...

BASIS: Batchwise Advantage Estimation from Single-Rollout Information Sharing for LLM Reasoning

BASIS, a critic-free post-training algorithm designed to address the tradeoff between computational efficiency and sample efficiency in value estimation and policy learning, achieves performance close to multi-rollout GRPO-type baselines and often outperforms single-rollout REINFORCE-type baselines.

Detecting Contaminated Code-Generation Prompt Batches via Influence Functions

The proposed CodeSIFT, a threat-model-agnostic detection method that leverages influence functions to identify batches of prompts that induce anomalous model behavior, suggests that influence-function-based detection is a promising direction for identifying malicious code-generation prompts without requiring prior know...
