The paper introduces a new benchmark for assessing out-of-distribution robustness in graph-based Android malware classifiers, highlighting that current models drop up to 45% accuracy on unseen malware variants. It presents two scenarios—MalNet-Tiny-Common for covariate shift and MalNet-Tiny-Distinct for domain shift—and identifies a limitation in existing benchmarks that rely solely on structure-only function call graphs. To address this, the authors propose a semantic enrichment framework that augments graph topology with function-level attributes and LLM-based code embeddings, demonstrating that this data-centric approach improves robustness under distribution shift and complements model-based methods.

Delphi Scanner is a static malware detection system for Windows PE files that balances efficiency and interpretability. It employs a convolutional neural network to model Windows API sequences and a rule‑based interpretation layer to map APIs to high‑level malicious capabilities. Tested on over 190,000 PE files, it achieves 95.35% accuracy with a 1.53 MB model, and demonstrates robustness against out‑of‑distribution samples and adversarial manipulations.
