arXiv:2608. 11469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents are rapidly improving in cybersecurity capabilities when the source code is available for analysis, yet much of the software most consequential to cybersecurity, including malware, firmware, and proprietary applications, is available only as binaries.

The paper investigates whether the hidden activations of large language models (LLMs) contain signals about the vulnerability of C/C++ code when the code is provided as context. By extracting prefill token activations from four LLMs and training small MLP probes, the authors achieve an average F1 score of 41.7% across four benchmarks, with the best probe matching state‑of‑the‑art fine‑tuned classifiers on the Devign dataset. The results suggest that a coding LLM’s internal representation can inform vulnerability detection, opening the door to lightweight, model‑native screening methods.

arXiv:2510. 20739v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Program analysis tools often produce large volumes of candidate vulnerability reports that require costly manual review, creating a practical challenge: how can security analysts prioritize the reports most likely to be true vulnerabilities?
The paper proposes using lightweight, calibrated System One decision models—specifically JEV and Laya—to improve autonomous penetration-testing harnesses that rely on large language models (LLMs). It defines four key decision points (finding adjudication, severity recalibration, agent pruning, and confirmation loops) and presents a NeuroSploit case study showing differences in severity distribution, runtime, and grading when using TypeSafe System One. The authors review existing System One specifications, discuss various RL-based training approaches, and introduce Rave, a domain‑adapted model with a proposed training and evaluation framework.
The paper introduces Trustworthy RAG, an evaluation agent designed to detect misinformation and knowledge poisoning in Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems. It combines natural language inference verification, a five-signal poison detector, and a weighted Trust Index to assess the reliability of retrieved content. Experiments on multiple LLMs show high accuracy and precision, with the agent effectively blocking unsafe advice in a secure-coding assistant scenario.
