arXiv:2509. 14335v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated malware classifiers achieve strong detection performance, but auditing requires more than flagging a sample: analysts must explain malicious behaviors and justify them with code evidence.

Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI) systems, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, Copilot, Stable Diffusion by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Stability AI, respectively, are revolutionizing cybersecurity, enabling both automated defense and sophisticated attacks. These technologies power real-time threat detection, phishing defense, secure code generation, and vulnerability exploitation at unprecedented scales.
arXiv:2608. 07808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four years after prompt injection was first identified in 2022, attacks are still predominantly documented as verbatim strings rather than structured exploits, despite advancing agent capabilities and threat actors embedding injections to subvert AI-assisted security analysis.

arXiv:2510. 14113v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are transforming everyday applications, yet deployment in cybersecurity lags due to a lack of high-quality, domain-specific models and training datasets.

The paper introduces ALIBI, a semantic cover story attack that injects a small, non-executed read‑only section into compiled binaries to mislead large language model (LLM) malware analyzers. By embedding a coherent but false security narrative, ALIBI can cause LLMs such as Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT‑5.5 Pro, and Claude Opus 4.7 to downgrade or flip the verdicts of malicious samples. The attack also transfers to ELF binaries, and even a verification‑guided defense prompt only partially mitigates the effect, leaving a significant portion of malicious samples classified as benign.

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.
