Specification-Guided Vulnerability Detection with Large Language Models

Large language models LLMs have achieved remarkable progress in code understanding tasks. However, they demonstrate limited performance in vulnerability detection and struggle to distinguish vulnerable code from patched code. We argue that LLMs lack understanding of security specifications -- the...

Detecting Vulnerabilities from Issue Reports for Internet-Of-Things

Timely identification of issue reports reflecting software vulnerabilities is crucial, particularly for Internet-of-Things IoT where analysis is slower than non-IoT systems. While Machine Learning ML and Large Language Models LLMs detect vulnerability-indicating issues in non-IoT systems, their I...

Binary Function Similarity Detection BFSD is a foundational technique in software security, underpinning a wide range of applications including vulnerability detection, malware analysis. Recent advances in AI-based BFSD tools have led to significant performance improvements. However, existing...

Penetrating the Hostile: Detecting DeFi Protocol Exploits through Cross-Contract Analysis

Decentralized finance DeFi protocols are crypto projects developed on the blockchain to manage digital assets. Attacks on DeFi have been frequent and have resulted in losses exceeding $80 billion. Current tools detect and locate possible vulnerabilities in contracts by analyzing the state changes...

On Selecting Few-Shot Examples for LLM-Based Code Vulnerability Detection

Large language models LLMs have demonstrated impressive capabilities for many coding tasks, including summarization, translation, completion, and code generation. However, detecting code vulnerabilities remains a challenging task for LLMs. An effective way to improve LLM performance is in-context...

Bytecode-Centric Detection of Known-To-Be-Vulnerable Dependencies in Java Projects

On average, 71% of the code in typical Java projects comes from open-source software OSS dependencies, making OSS dependencies the dominant component of modern software code bases. This high degree of OSS reliance comes with a considerable security risk of adding known security vulnerabilities to...
