ALIBI: Adaptive Agentic Attacks on LLM-Based Vulnerability Detectors Via Adversarial Code Comments

Large language models are increasingly deployed for security-sensitive tasks such as vulnerability detection and code review. Their reliance on natural-language context embedded in source code exposes a previously underexplored attack surface: adversarial comments that can influence a detector's...

Can Adversarial Code Comments Fool AI Security Reviewers -- Large-Scale Empirical Study of Comment-Based Attacks and Defenses against LLM Code Analysis

AI-assisted code review is widely used to detect vulnerabilities before production release. Prior work shows that adversarial prompt manipulation can degrade large language model LLM performance in code generation. We test whether similar comment-based manipulation misleads LLMs during...
