The Semantic Trap: Do Fine-Tuned LLMs Learn Vulnerability Root Cause or Just Functional Pattern?

LLMs demonstrate promising performance in software vulnerability detection after fine-tuning. However, it remains unclear whether these gains reflect a genuine understanding of vulnerability root causes or merely an exploitation of functional patterns. In this paper, we identify a critical failur...

Exploring Cross-Stage Adversarial Transferability in Class-Incremental Continual Learning

Class-incremental continual learning addresses catastrophic forgetting by enabling classification models to preserve knowledge of previously learned classes while acquiring new ones. However, the vulnerability of the models against adversarial attacks during this process has not been investigated...
