MACGen: Toward Functionally Correct and Secure Code Generation via Multi-Agent Collaboration

Read the original on arXiv AI →

MACGen is a multi‑agent framework designed to produce code that is both functionally correct and secure. It orchestrates four specialized agents—planner, security advisor, coder, and reviewer—each receiving only structured artifacts from the previous stage, thereby enforcing role specialization and limiting context bloat. The approach yields significant improvements on benchmark datasets, outperforming direct prompting by 19.61 and 10.57 percentage points on average.

AgenticSCR: An Autonomous Agentic Secure Code Review for Immature Vulnerabilities Detection

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.

SecureVibe: Making Vibe Coding More Secure

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.

MAS-Guard: Unified Guardrails from Individual Agents to Multi-Agent LLM Systems

MAS-Guard is a unified framework designed to safeguard both single- and multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems. It introduces a local Agent Guardrail (A-Guard) layer that uses task-specific experts to evaluate agentic events, and a system-level Control Plane that applies deterministic structural checks and semantic assessments to routes, capabilities, and message content. The framework enforces interventions—allow, reflection, confirmation, and block—across benchmarks, reducing attack success rates by 71.5‑86.3% while maintaining utility on benign tasks.

DualGauge: Automated Joint Security-Functionality Benchmarking of Specification-Only Code Generation by LLMs and Coding Agents

arXiv:2511. 20709v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based coding agents are now used to generate code from natural-language specifications, yet ensuring such code is both functionally correct and secure remains a challenge.
