BOP-ASK: Object-Interaction Reasoning for Vision-Language Models
Vineet Bhat, Sungsu Kim, Valts Blukis +6
Vision Language Models (VLMs) have achieved impressive performance on spatial reasoning benchmarks, yet these evaluations mask critical weaknesses in understanding object interacti…
From Trace to Line: LLM Agent for Real-World OSS Vulnerability Localization
Haoran Xi, Minghao Shao, Brendan Dolan-Gavitt +2
Large language models show promise for vulnerability discovery, yet prevailing methods inspect code in isolation, struggle with long contexts, and focus on coarse function- or file…
Binary Diff Summarization using Large Language Models
Meet Udeshi, Venkata Sai Charan Putrevu, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +4
Security of software supply chains is necessary to ensure that software updates do not contain maliciously injected code or introduce vulnerabilities that may compromise the integr…
Ransomware 3.0: Self-Composing and LLM-Orchestrated
Md Raz, Meet Udeshi, P. V. Sai Charan +3
Using automated reasoning, code synthesis, and contextual decision-making, we introduce a new threat that exploits large language models (LLMs) to autonomously plan, adapt, and exe…
SCAMPER -- Synchrophasor Covert chAnnel for Malicious and Protective ERrands
Prashanth Krishnamurthy, Ramesh Karri, Farshad Khorrami
We note that constituent fields (notably the fraction-of-seconds timestamp field) in the data payload structure of the synchrophasor communication protocol (IEEE C37.118 standard)…
An Orchestrated Sandbox for Side-Channel Analysis of Cyber-Physical Systems Malware
Meet Udeshi, Venkata Sai Charan Putrevu, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +2
Embedded devices powering cyber-physical systems (CPS) are increasingly internet-exposed, placing critical infrastructure under active threat. Dynamic analysis of embedded malware…
Towards Effective Offensive Security LLM Agents: Hyperparameter Tuning, LLM as a Judge, and a Lightweight CTF Benchmark
Minghao Shao, Nanda Rani, Kimberly Milner +9
Recent advances in LLM agentic systems have improved the automation of offensive security tasks, particularly for Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges. We systematically investigate t…
MapleGrasp: Mask-guided Feature Pooling for Language-driven Efficient Robotic Grasping
Vineet Bhat, Naman Patel, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +2
Robotic manipulation of unseen objects via natural language commands remains challenging. Language driven robotic grasping (LDRG) predicts stable grasp poses from natural language…
CRAKEN: Cybersecurity LLM Agent with Knowledge-Based Execution
Minghao Shao, Haoran Xi, Nanda Rani +9
Large Language Model (LLM) agents can automate cybersecurity tasks and can adapt to the evolving cybersecurity landscape without re-engineering. While LLM agents have demonstrated…
3D CAVLA: Leveraging Depth and 3D Context to Generalize Vision Language Action Models for Unseen Tasks
Vineet Bhat, Yu-Hsiang Lan, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +2
Robotic manipulation in 3D requires effective computation of N degree-of-freedom joint-space trajectories that enable precise and robust control. To achieve this, robots must integ…
Enabling Deep Visibility into VxWorks-Based Embedded Controllers in Cyber-Physical Systems for Anomaly Detection
Prashanth Krishnamurthy, Ramesh Karri, Farshad Khorrami
We propose the DIVER (Defensive Implant for Visibility into Embedded Run-times) framework for real-time deep visibility into embedded control devices in cyber-physical systems (CPS…
D-CIPHER: Dynamic Collaborative Intelligent Multi-Agent System with Planner and Heterogeneous Executors for Offensive Security
Meet Udeshi, Minghao Shao, Haoran Xi +9
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been used in cybersecurity such as autonomous security analysis or penetration testing. Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges serve as benchmarks to a…
Real-Time Multi-Modal Subcomponent-Level Measurements for Trustworthy System Monitoring and Malware Detection
Farshad Khorrami, Ramesh Karri, Prashanth Krishnamurthy
With increasingly sophisticated cyber-adversaries able to access a wider repertoire of mechanisms to implant malware such as ransomware, CPU/GPU keyloggers, and stealthy kernel roo…
SHIELD: A Host-Independent Framework for Ransomware Detection using Deep Filesystem Features
Md Raz, Venkata Sai Charan Putrevu, Prashanth Krishnamurthy +2
Ransomware's escalating sophistication necessitates tamper-resistant, off-host detection solutions that capture deep disk activity beyond the reach of a compromised operating syste…
