abstract

Software vulnerabilities can cause numerous problems, including crashes, data loss, and security breaches. These issues greatly compromise quality and can negatively impact the market adoption of software applications and systems. Traditional bug-fixing methods, such as static analysis, often produce false positives. While bounded model checking, a form of Formal Verification (FV), can provide more accurate outcomes compared to static analyzers, it demands substantial resources and significantly hinders developer productivity. Can Machine Learning (ML) achieve accuracy comparable to FV methods and be used in popular instant code completion frameworks in near real-time? In this paper, we introduce SecureFalcon, an innovative model architecture with only 121 million parameters derived from the Falcon-40B model and explicitly tailored for classifying software vulnerabilities. To achieve the best performance, we trained our model using two datasets, namely the FormAI dataset and the FalconVulnDB. The FalconVulnDB is a combination of recent public datasets, namely the SySeVR framework, Draper VDISC, Bigvul, Diversevul, SARD Juliet, and ReVeal datasets. These datasets contain the top 25 most dangerous software weaknesses, such as CWE-119, CWE-120, CWE-476, CWE-122, CWE-190, CWE-121, CWE-78, CWE-787, CWE-20, and CWE-762. SecureFalcon achieves 94% accuracy in binary classification and up to 92% in multiclassification, with instant CPU inference times. It outperforms existing models such as BERT, RoBERTa, CodeBERT, and traditional ML algorithms, promising to push the boundaries of software vulnerability detection and instant code completion frameworks.

ACSE-Eval: Can LLMs threat model real-world cloud infrastructure?

cs.CR · 2025-05-16 · conditional · novelty 7.0

ACSE-Eval benchmarks LLMs on threat-modeling 100 AWS architectures and finds that GPT-4.1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro lead threat identification, while all models score below 50% on exact CWE and ATT&CK classification.

Cybersecurity AI (CAI) Dataset

cs.CR · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

CAI Dataset is presented as the largest described corpus of LLM-driven hacker trajectories, with the claim that operator data concentration in frontier-model providers creates a major security risk best addressed by on-premise specialized LLMs.
