The paper introduces CodeScan, a black-box, vulnerability-oriented scanning framework designed to detect data poisoning and backdoor attacks in code generation large language models (LLMs). CodeScan operates by analyzing structural similarities across multiple code generations, normalizing them with abstract syntax tree (AST) techniques, and then applying LLM-based vulnerability analysis to identify recurring insecure patterns. Evaluations on 117 models across three architectures and multiple sizes show over 97% detection accuracy with fewer false positives compared to prior methods.
arXiv:2604. 04977v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Software supply chain security compromises often stem from cascaded interactions of vulnerabilities, for example, between multiple vulnerable components.
arXiv:2604. 17948v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various cybersecurity tasks, including vulnerability classification, detection, and patching.
arXiv:2607. 06963v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
Athena is a graph-based system that identifies affected libraries for software vulnerabilities by modeling vulnerability databases as a knowledge graph and applying knowledge graph completion. It integrates CVEs, libraries, CWE types, CPE products, and software ecosystems, then predicts missing affected libraries using link prediction and refines results with a fine‑tuned LLM that incorporates graph embeddings. Experiments on the VulLib dataset show Athena outperforms four state‑of‑the‑art baselines, achieving a 32% higher average F1 score and demonstrating that a smaller KGC backbone can surpass larger LLM‑only approaches.
