Security in a Workflow: Exploring Role-Based Agentic Architectures for Vulnerability Handling

Secure software engineering in practice is a multi-stage workflow involving vulnerability analysis, remediation, and fix verification. However, current LLM-based software security approaches often focus on isolated tasks such as detection or patch generation, with limited attention to agentic...

Finding Memory Leaks in C/C++ Programs Via Neuro-Symbolic Augmented Static Analysis

Memory leaks remain prevalent in real-world C/C++ software. Static analyzers such as CodeQL provide scalable program analysis but frequently miss such bugs because they cannot recognize project-specific custom memory-management functions and lack path-sensitive control-flow modeling. We present...

Community-powered security with AI: an open source framework for security research

Since its founding in 2019, GitHub Security Lab has had one primary goal: community-powered security. We believe that the best way to improve software security is by sharing knowledge and tools, and by using open source software so that everybody is empowered to audit the code and report any...
