VulStyle: A Multi-Modal Pre-Training for Code Stylometry-Augmented Vulnerability Detection
Chidera Biringa, Ajmal Abbas, Vishnu Selvaraj +1
We present VulStyle, a multi-modal software vulnerability detection model that jointly encodes function-level source code, non-terminal Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) structure, and co…
Detecting Hard-Coded Credentials in Software Repositories via LLMs
Chidera Biringa, Gokhan Kul
Software developers frequently hard-code credentials such as passwords, generic secrets, private keys, and generic tokens in software repositories, even though it is strictly advis…
Short Paper: Static and Microarchitectural ML-Based Approaches For Detecting Spectre Vulnerabilities and Attacks
Chidera Biringa, Gaspard Baye, Gökhan Kul
Spectre intrusions exploit speculative execution design vulnerabilities in modern processors. The attacks violate the principles of isolation in programs to gain unauthorized priva…
A Secure Design Pattern Approach Toward Tackling Lateral-Injection Attacks
Chidera Biringa, Gökhan Kul
Software weaknesses that create attack surfaces for adversarial exploits, such as lateral SQL injection (LSQLi) attacks, are usually introduced during the design phase of software…
Automated User Experience Testing through Multi-Dimensional Performance Impact Analysis
Chidera Biringa, Gokhan Kul
Although there are many automated software testing suites, they usually focus on unit, system, and interface testing. However, especially software updates such as new security feat…
