The paper introduces SUSVIBES, a benchmark of 186 real‑world software engineering tasks where human programmers have committed vulnerable code. It evaluates 12 popular coding‑agent settings on these tasks and finds that all agents perform poorly in terms of security, with only 11.8% of solutions from SWE‑Agent with Claude 4 Sonnet being secure despite 57% being functionally correct. Attempts to mitigate security issues by adding vulnerability hints to the prompts do not improve results.

The study examines how adding a security-requirements section to prompts affects web applications generated by a large language model. Six distinct applications were produced twice—once with a baseline prompt and once with a security-aware prompt—yielding 12 programs. Analysis of these programs revealed 75 confirmed security findings, with the security-aware variants showing fewer issues (24 vs. 51) and no Critical or High severity problems.

SecureVibe is a training recipe designed to enhance the security of vibe coding by explicitly targeting planning and testing for code security. It combines supervised fine‑tuning on a security suite with post‑training methods (SECUREVIBE_rl and SECUREVIBE_hg) that use verifiable execution feedback and hint‑based self‑supervision. The approach outperforms baselines on multiple security coding benchmarks, improving security pass@1 by up to 6.9 points on BaxBench and 11.5 points on SusVibes, while also boosting functionality pass@1 on both security and generic coding tasks.

arXiv:2601. 19138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Secure code review is critical during pre-integration, where Atlassian developers rely on lightweight analysis tools, while deep security assessment is deferred to later stages, delaying feedback and increasing remediation costs.
