Second Thought: Reasoning in Parallel as LLM Agents Act and Observe
Zhensu Sun, Chengran Yang, Yunbo Lyu +2
LLM agents in the ReAct paradigm alternate between reasoning, acting, and observing, but deliberate reasoning is confined to the Thought phase: while the agent serializes an action…
We Must Have Missed This Comment: Detecting and Repairing Stale Function References in Linux Kernel Comments
Kexin Sun, Yunbo Lyu, Xutong Ma +6
As the Linux kernel evolves, code comments may become outdated, as the functions they reference can be refactored or removed independently without corresponding updates to the comm…
Fail-Fast, Restart-Smart: Early Failure Prediction and Restart for SWE Agentic Tasks
Chenyu Wang, Yunbo Lyu, Junda He +4
Software engineering (SWE) agents resolve repository-level issues through long trajectories that grow increasingly expensive as context accumulates. Failed runs tend to be longer a…
How Do Practitioners Build SE Agents? Insights from a Mixed-Methods Study
Yunbo Lyu, David Williams, Jieke Shi +5
The rise of Software Engineering (SE) agents, i.e., LLM-based agents that can understand large codebases and carry out engineering tasks with limited human intervention, has been m…
How Agentic AI Coding Assistants Become the Attacker's Shell
Yue Liu, Yanjie Zhao, Yunbo Lyu +3
Agentic AI coding assistants can edit files, run commands, and access the internet on behalf of developers. However, their reliance on unvetted external artifacts introduces a new…
AgentSZZ: Teaching the LLM Agent to Play Detective with Bug-Inducing Commits
Yunbo Lyu, Jieke Shi, Hong Jin Kang +8
The SZZ algorithm is the dominant technique for identifying bug-inducing commits and underpins many software engineering tasks, such as defect prediction and vulnerability analysis…
Hidden Licensing Risks in the LLMware Ecosystem
Bo Wang, Yueyang Chen, Jieke Shi +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into software systems, giving rise to a new class of systems referred to as LLMware. Beyond traditional source-code compone…
What You Trust Is Insecure: Demystifying How Developers (Mis)Use Trusted Execution Environments in Practice
Yuqing Niu, Jieke Shi, Ruidong Han +4
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX and ARM TrustZone, provide isolated regions of CPU and memory for secure computation and are increasingly used to protect s…
SecureVibeBench: Benchmarking Secure Vibe Coding of AI Agents via Reconstructing Vulnerability-Introducing Scenarios
Junkai Chen, Huihui Huang, Yunbo Lyu +10
