Empirical Evaluation of Large Language Models for Migration of Code Fragments to Post-Quantum Cryptography

The transition to post-quantum cryptography PQC requires not only replacing vulnerable cryptographic primitives, but also refactoring the surrounding software logic. While existing PQC migration frameworks provide organizational guidance, practical code-level remediation remains largely manual an...

Detecting Trojaned DNNs Via Spectral Regression Analysis

Modern DNNs are repeatedly fine-tuned to incorporate new data and functionality. This evolutionary workflow introduces a security risk when updated data cannot be fully trusted, as adversaries may implant Trojans during fine-tuning. We present MIST, a Trojan detection approach that analyzes how a...

On Fixing Insecure AI-Generated Code through Model Fine-Tuning and Prompting Strategies

The security of AI-generated code remains a major obstacle to its widespread adoption. Although code generation models achieve strong performance on functional benchmarks, their outputs frequently contain bugs and security weaknesses that undermine their trustworthiness. Prior work has explored a...

Secret Stealing Attacks on Local LLM Fine-Tuning through Supply-Chain Model Code Backdoors

Local fine-tuning datasets routinely contain sensitive secrets such as API keys, personal identifiers, and financial records. Although ''local offline fine-tuning'' is often viewed as a privacy boundary, we reveal that compromised model code is sufficient to steal them. Current passive...

LLM4CodeRE: Generative AI for Code Decompilation Analysis and Reverse Engineering

Code decompilation analysis is a fundamental yet challenging task in malware reverse engineering, particularly due to the pervasive use of sophisticated obfuscation techniques. Although recent large language models LLMs have shown promise in translating low-level representations into high-level...

A one-prompt attack that breaks LLM safety alignment

Large language models LLMs and diffusion models now power a wide range of applications, from document assistance to text-to-image generation, and users increasingly expect these systems to be safety-aligned by default. Yet safety alignment is only as robust as its weakest failure mode. Despite...

Evaluating Large Language Models for Security Bug Report Prediction

Early detection of security bug reports SBRs is critical for timely vulnerability mitigation. We present an evaluation of prompt-based engineering and fine-tuning approaches for predicting SBRs using Large Language Models LLMs. Our findings reveal a distinct trade-off between the two approaches...

TrojanPraise: Jailbreak LLMs Via Benign Fine-Tuning

The demand of customized large language models LLMs has led to commercial LLMs offering black-box fine-tuning APIs, yet this convenience introduces a critical security loophole: attackers could jailbreak the LLMs by fine-tuning them with malicious data. Though this security issue has recently bee...

Backdoor Attacks against Speech Language Models

Large Language Models LLMs and their multimodal extensions are becoming increasingly popular. One common approach to enable multimodality is to cascade domain-specific encoders with an LLM, making the resulting model inherit vulnerabilities from all of its components. In this work, we present the...

Beyond Surface Alignment: Rebuilding LLMs Safety Mechanism Via Probabilistically Ablating Refusal Direction

Jailbreak attacks pose persistent threats to large language models LLMs. Current safety alignment methods have attempted to address these issues, but they experience two significant limitations: insufficient safety alignment depth and unrobust internal defense mechanisms. These limitations make...
