Auto-SPT: Automating Semantic Preserving Transformations for Code
Ashish Hooda, Mihai Christodorescu, Chuangang Ren +3
Machine learning (ML) models for code clone detection determine whether two pieces of code are semantically equivalent, which in turn is a key building block for software-engineeri…
Systems Security Foundations for Agentic Computing
Mihai Christodorescu, Earlence Fernandes, Ashish Hooda +11
In recent years, agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly widespread. These systems allow agents to use various tools, such as web browsers, compilers…
What Really is a Member? Discrediting Membership Inference via Poisoning
Neal Mangaokar, Ashish Hooda, Zhuohang Li +5
Membership inference tests aim to determine whether a particular data point was included in a language model's training set. However, recent works have shown that such tests often…
Through the Stealth Lens: Attention-Aware Defenses Against Poisoning in RAG
Sarthak Choudhary, Nils Palumbo, Ashish Hooda +2
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems are vulnerable to attacks that inject poisoned passages into the retrieved context, even at low corruption rates. We show that existing…
Fun-tuning: Characterizing the Vulnerability of Proprietary LLMs to Optimization-based Prompt Injection Attacks via the Fine-Tuning Interface
Andrey Labunets, Nishit V. Pandya, Ashish Hooda +2
We surface a new threat to closed-weight Large Language Models (LLMs) that enables an attacker to compute optimization-based prompt injections. Specifically, we characterize how an…
