VeriCWEty: Embedding Enabled Line-Level CWE Detection in Verilog

Large Language Models LLMs have shown significant improvement in RTL code generation. Despite the advances, the generated code is often riddled with common vulnerabilities and weaknesses CWEs that can slip by untrained eyes. Attackers can often exploit these weaknesses to fulfill their nefarious...

LLM-Enabled Open-Source Systems in the Wild: An Empirical Study of Vulnerabilities in GitHub Security Advisories

Large language models LLMs are increasingly embedded in open-source software OSS ecosystems, creating complex interactions among natural language prompts, probabilistic model outputs, and execution-capable components. However, it remains unclear whether traditional vulnerability disclosure...

2025 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency CISA, in collaboration with the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute HSSEDI, operated by the MITRE Corporation, has released the 2025 Common Weakness Enumeration CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesseslink is...

LLM-CSEC: Empirical Evaluation of Security in C/C++ Code Generated by Large Language Models

The security of code generated by large language models LLMs is a significant concern, as studies indicate that such code often contains vulnerabilities and lacks essential defensive programming constructs. This work focuses on examining and evaluating the security of LLM-generated code,...

This is a PoC Proof of Concept exploit for various CWE Common...

AI wrote my code and all I got was this broken prototype

Welcome to this week's edition of the Threat Source newsletter. Vulnerabilities within software are a persistent challenge. Software engineers inadvertently tend to make the same mistakes repeatedly, with the same entries appearing in the annual top 25 list of Common Weakness Enumerations each...

Open Source, Open Threats? Investigating Security Challenges in Open-Source Software

Open-source software OSS has become increasingly more popular across different domains. However, this rapid development and widespread adoption come with a security cost. The growing complexity and openness of OSS ecosystems have led to increased exposure to vulnerabilities and attack surfaces...

SecRepoBench: Benchmarking LLMs for Secure Code Generation in Real-World Repositories

This paper introduces SecRepoBench, a benchmark to evaluate LLMs on secure code generation in real-world repositories. SecRepoBench has 318 code generation tasks in 27 C/C++ repositories, covering 15 CWEs. We evaluate 19 state-of-the-art LLMs using our benchmark and find that the models struggle...
