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.

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.

arXiv:2606. 15762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We ran 300 repeated vulnerability-finding scans to measure how repeatable agentic large language model (LLM) security review is on the same JavaScript code, prompt, and benchmark harness.
