SAVANT: Vulnerability Detection in Application Dependencies through Semantic-Guided Reachability Analysis

The integration of open-source third-party library dependencies in Java development introduces significant security risks when these libraries contain known vulnerabilities. Existing Software Composition Analysis SCA tools struggle to effectively detect vulnerable API usage from these libraries d...

deepSURF: Detecting Memory Safety Vulnerabilities in Rust through Fuzzing LLM-Augmented Harnesses

Although Rust ensures memory safety by default, it also permits the use of unsafe code, which can introduce memory safety vulnerabilities if misused. Unfortunately, existing tools for detecting memory bugs in Rust typically exhibit limited detection capabilities, inadequately handle Rust-specific...

AI Safety Vs. AI Security: Demystifying the Distinction and Boundaries

Artificial Intelligence AI is rapidly being integrated into critical systems across various domains, from healthcare to autonomous vehicles. While its integration brings immense benefits, it also introduces significant risks, including those arising from AI misuse. Within the discourse on managin...

CVE-2025-38070

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: sma1307: Add NULL check in sma1307settingloaded All varibale allocated by kzalloc and devmkzalloc could be NULL. Multiple pointer checks and their cleanup are added. This issue is found by our static analysis tool...

chi Allows Host Header Injection which Leads to Open Redirect in RedirectSlashes

Summary The RedirectSlashes function in middleware/strip.go is vulnerable to host header injection which leads to open redirect. We consider this a lower-severity open redirect, as it can't be exploited from browsers or email clients requires manipulation of a Host header. Details The...

CVE-2022-50185

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: fix potential buffer overflow in nisetmcspecialregisters The last case label can write two buffers 'mcregaddressj' and 'mcdataj' with 'j' offset equal to SMCNISLANDSMCREGISTERARRAYSIZE since there are no checks for th...

Towards Effective Complementary Security Analysis Using Large Language Models

A key challenge in security analysis is the manual evaluation of potential security weaknesses generated by static application security testing SAST tools. Numerous false positives FPs in these reports reduce the effectiveness of security analysis. We propose using Large Language Models LLMs to...

MM-AttacKG: a Multimodal Approach to Attack Graph Construction with Large Language Models

Cyber Threat Intelligence CTI parsing aims to extract key threat information from massive data, transform it into actionable intelligence, enhance threat detection and defense efficiency, including attack graph construction, intelligence fusion and indicator extraction. Among these research topic...

SafeGenBench: a Benchmark Framework for Security Vulnerability Detection in LLM-Generated Code

The code generation capabilities of large language modelsLLMs have emerged as a critical dimension in evaluating their overall performance. However, prior research has largely overlooked the security risks inherent in the generated code. In this work, we introduce SafeGenBench, a benchmark...
