TL;DR

SA2Pat (Security Advisory to Patch), a framework that accurately localizes security patches by learning from patterns in historical vulnerability fixes, is proposed, and a fine-tuned SecureBERT model is employed to predict the likely CWE ID, ensuring that the input information remains complete.

BinVulRAG: Knowledge-Level Retrieval-Augmented Detection of Known Vulnerabilities in Binary Functions

BinVulRAG, a function-level assessment framework that retrieves provenance-aware knowledge units rather than plain documents or code fragments, supports grounding retrieved vulnerability knowledge in binary-observable evidence when distinguishing vulnerable functions from patched functions.

VulValidate: Auditing Function-Level Vulnerability Labels with Executable Evidence

Reliable learning-based vulnerability detection requires high-quality labels, yet datasets built from vulnerability-fixing commits may label functions as vulnerable simply because they were changed by a security patch. We present VulValidate, a framework that uses LLM agents to coordinate dynamic analysis tools and con...

Mitigating Keyword Bias in Java Vulnerability Detection through Dual-Stream CodeBERT with Security Feature Engineering

A dual-stream CodeBERT architecture is presented that addresses keyword bias —by combining pre-trained Transformer representations with a 50-dimensional hand-engineered security feature vector, supported by targeted data augmentation and two-stage adversarial fine-tuning.

CodePoisonRAG: Knowledge Poisoning Attacks on Retrieval-Augmented Code Generation

This work introduces CodePoisonRAG, a targeted upstream knowledge-poisoning framework that transforms benign fixed-code entries into poisoned artifacts and shows that RACG poisoning extends beyond the incidental propagation of existing vulnerabilities to the targeted construction and propagation of attacker-selected we...

From Similarity Ranking to Definitive Verdict: LLM-Enhanced Source-to-Binary Function Localization

Locating a known source function in a stripped binary is a prerequisite for many security and software engineering tasks, including Software Composition Analysis (SCA) false-positive elimination, patch presence verification, malware analysis, code plagiarism detection, and license compliance auditing. We formalize this...
