Characterizing Security Effects of OSS Vulnerabilities in Agent Systems
Software agents increasingly depend on open-source components when executing tools and interacting with external systems. Security flaws in these dependencies may therefore influence more than the software process in which they occur: their consequences can be carried through tool outputs, agent...
Measuring the Security of the Evolving Software Supply Chain: A Research Agenda
Software supply chain security has become increasingly critical due to the widespread reliance on third-party dependencies and the growing attack surface of modern software ecosystems. However, existing quantitative, measurement-based analysis and vulnerability management approaches remain largel...
Uncovering Similar but Different Packages in PyPI and Potential Security Threats
In this study, we present a large-scale, in-depth study of package replication in PyPI. As a vital platform, PyPI streamlines Python package distribution for developers. However, beyond small-scale code cloning, we observe that many replicated packages exist on PyPI, which duplicate most of the...

Original Sin of Npm: A Study on Vulnerability Propagation in JavaScript Dependency Networks
Understanding vulnerability propagation is essential for assessing how vulnerabilities spread across components of a software package. This supports more accurate impact analysis and enhances threat detection and mitigation. In this paper, we investigate how a small number of vulnerable JavaScrip...

VEcho: A Paradigm Shift from Vulnerability Verification to Proactive Discovery with Large Language Models
Static Application Security Testing SAST tools often suffer from high false positive rates, leading to alert fatigue that consumes valuable auditing resources. Recent efforts leveraging Large Language Models LLMs as filters offer limited improvements; however, these methods treat LLMs as passive,...
An Accurate and Efficient Vulnerability Propagation Analysis Framework
Identifying the impact scope and scale is critical for software supply chain vulnerability assessment. However, existing studies face substantial limitations. First, prior studies either work at coarse package-level granularity, producing many false positives, or fail to accomplish whole-ecosyste...
VIVID: a Novel Approach to Remediation Prioritization in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Static Application Security Testing SAST enables organizations to detect vulnerabilities in code early; however, major SAST platforms do not include visual aids and present little insight on correlations between tainted data chains. We propose VIVID - Vulnerability Information Via Data flow - a...
XSS Hunter – A Modern Approach to Testing for Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
Cross-site Scripting XSS origins go arguably back to a lab in Microsoft in 1999. With the first disclosure of the issue titled “ Malicious HTML Tags Embedded in Client Web Requests “, this research sparked an entire generation of an attack that somehow still seems to persist in modern web...
