GapFuzz: Cross-Plane Divergence Fuzzing for Distributed SDN Controllers
Moustapha Awwalou Diouf, Samuel Ouya, Jacques Klein +2
Distributed Software-Defined Networking (SDN) clusters replicate flow state asynchronously between a master node and its backups, leaving a window during which two backup nodes can…
Software Security in Software-Defined Networking: A Systematic Literature Review
Moustapha Awwalou Diouf, Samuel Ouya, Jacques Klein +1
Software-defined networking (SDN) separates the control plane from the data plane and exposes the network through software applications and open APIs. The same programmability that…
From Rookie to Expert: Manipulating LLMs for Automated Vulnerability Exploitation in Enterprise Software
Moustapha Awwalou Diouf, Maimouna Tamah Diao, Iyiola Emmanuel Olatunji +6
LLMs democratize software engineering by enabling non-programmers to create applications, but this same accessibility fundamentally undermines security assumptions that have guided…
Characterizing Build Compromises Through Vulnerability Disclosure Analysis
Maimouna Tamah Diao, Moustapha Awwalou Diouf, Iyiola Emmanuel Olatunji +4
The software build process transforms source code into deployable artifacts, representing a critical yet vulnerable stage in software development. Build infrastructure security pos…
ContractTrace: Retracing Smart Contract Versions for Security Analyses
Fatou Ndiaye Mbodji, Vinny Adjibi, Moustapha Awwalou Diouf +4
Due to the inherent immutability of blockchain technology, smart contract updates require their deployment at new addresses rather than modifying existing ones, thus fragmenting ve…
