Data-Centric Benchmarking of Exploit Generation in LLMs: Understanding the Impact of Fine-Tuning

We study the task of CVE-conditioned exploit generation, where a model drafts proof-of-concept PoC exploits given software vulnerability context. We adopt a data-centric approach, constructing a high-quality dataset via multi-stage preprocessing and introducing a scalable evaluation framework wit...

A Decompilation-Driven Framework for Malware Detection with Large Language Models

The parallel evolution of Large Language Models LLMs with advanced code-understanding capabilities and the increasing sophistication of malware presents a new frontier for cybersecurity research. This paper evaluates the efficacy of state-of-the-art LLMs in classifying executable code as either...

Accelerating Automatic Program Repair with Dual Retrieval-Augmented Fine-Tuning and Patch Generation on Large Language Models

Automated Program Repair APR is essential for ensuring software reliability and quality while enhancing efficiency and reducing developers' workload. Although rule-based and learning-based APR methods have demonstrated their effectiveness, their performance was constrained by the defect type of...
