MalCVE: Malware Detection and CVE Association Using Large Language Models
Malicious software attacks are having an increasingly significant economic impact. Commercial malware detection software can be costly, and tools that attribute malware to the specific software vulnerabilities it exploits are largely lacking. Understanding the connection between malware and the...
A Systematic Study on Generating Web Vulnerability Proof-Of-Concepts Using Large Language Models
Recent advances in Large Language Models LLMs have brought remarkable progress in code understanding and reasoning, creating new opportunities and raising new concerns for software security. Among many downstream tasks, generating Proof-of-Concept PoC exploits plays a central role in vulnerabilit...
RedTWIZ: Diverse LLM Red Teaming Via Adaptive Attack Planning
This paper presents the vision, scientific contributions, and technical details of RedTWIZ: an adaptive and diverse multi-turn red teaming framework, to audit the robustness of Large Language Models LLMs in AI-assisted software development. Our work is driven by three major research streams: 1...
Distilling Lightweight Language Models for C/C++ Vulnerabilities
The increasing complexity of modern software systems exacerbates the prevalence of security vulnerabilities, posing risks of severe breaches and substantial economic loss. Consequently, robust code vulnerability detection is essential for software security. While Large Language Models LLMs have...
A Survey on Agentic Security: Applications, Threats and Defenses
The rapid shift from passive LLMs to autonomous LLM-agents marks a new paradigm in cybersecurity. While these agents can act as powerful tools for both offensive and defensive operations, the very agentic context introduces a new class of inherent security risks. In this work we present the first...
Leveraging Large Language Models for Cybersecurity Risk Assessment -- a Case from Forestry Cyber-Physical Systems
In safety-critical software systems, cybersecurity activities become essential, with risk assessment being one of the most critical. In many software teams, cybersecurity experts are either entirely absent or represented by only a small number of specialists. As a result, the workload for these...
P2P: A Poison-To-Poison Remedy for Reliable Backdoor Defense in LLMs
During fine-tuning, large language models LLMs are increasingly vulnerable to data-poisoning backdoor attacks, which compromise their reliability and trustworthiness. However, existing defense strategies suffer from limited generalization: they only work on specific attack types or task settings...
Selecting Cybersecurity Requirements: Effects of LLM Use and Professional Software Development Experience
This study investigates how access to Large Language Models LLMs and varying levels of professional software development experience affect the prioritization of cybersecurity requirements for web applications. Twenty-three postgraduate students participated in a research study to prioritize...

MALF: A Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Intelligent Fuzzing of Industrial Control Protocols
Industrial control systems ICS are vital to modern infrastructure but increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, particularly through weaknesses in their communication protocols. This paper presents MALF Multi-Agent LLM Fuzzing Framework, an advanced fuzzing solution that integrates large...
FalseCrashReducer: Mitigating False Positive Crashes in OSS-Fuzz-Gen Using Agentic AI
Fuzz testing has become a cornerstone technique for identifying software bugs and security vulnerabilities, with broad adoption in both industry and open-source communities. Directly fuzzing a function requires fuzz drivers, which translate random fuzzer inputs into valid arguments for the target...
FuncPoison: Poisoning Function Library to Hijack Multi-Agent Autonomous Driving Systems
Autonomous driving systems increasingly rely on multi-agent architectures powered by large language models LLMs, where specialized agents collaborate to perceive, reason, and plan. A key component of these systems is the shared function library, a collection of software tools that agents use to...
Automated Vulnerability Validation and Verification: A Large Language Model Approach
Software vulnerabilities remain a critical security challenge, providing entry points for attackers into enterprise networks. Despite advances in security practices, the lack of high-quality datasets capturing diverse exploit behavior limits effective vulnerability assessment and mitigation. This...
HFuzzer: Testing Large Language Models for Package Hallucinations Via Phrase-Based Fuzzing
Large Language Models LLMs are widely used for code generation, but they face critical security risks when applied to practical production due to package hallucinations, in which LLMs recommend non-existent packages. These hallucinations can be exploited in software supply chain attacks, where...
Binary Diff Summarization Using Large Language Models
Security of software supply chains is necessary to ensure that software updates do not contain maliciously injected code or introduce vulnerabilities that may compromise the integrity of critical infrastructure. Verifying the integrity of software updates involves binary differential analysis...
SoK: Potentials and Challenges of Large Language Models for Reverse Engineering
Reverse Engineering RE is central to software security, enabling tasks such as vulnerability discovery and malware analysis, but it remains labor-intensive and requires substantial expertise. Earlier advances in deep learning start to automate parts of RE, particularly for malware detection and...
Can Federated Learning Safeguard Private Data in LLM Training? Vulnerabilities, Attacks, and Defense Evaluation
Fine-tuning large language models LLMs with local data is a widely adopted approach for organizations seeking to adapt LLMs to their specific domains. Given the shared characteristics in data across different organizations, the idea of collaboratively fine-tuning an LLM using data from multiple...
STAF: Leveraging LLMs for Automated Attack Tree-Based Security Test Generation
In modern automotive development, security testing is critical for safeguarding systems against increasingly advanced threats. Attack trees are widely used to systematically represent potential attack vectors, but generating comprehensive test cases from these trees remains a labor-intensive,...
Investigating Security Implications of Automatically Generated Code on the Software Supply Chain
In recent years, various software supply chain SSC attacks have posed significant risks to the global community. Severe consequences may arise if developers integrate insecure code snippets that are vulnerable to SSC attacks into their products. Particularly, code generation techniques, such as...
