When Knowledge Changes: Metamorphic Testing of RAG Systems with Mutations

Jinhan Kim, Samuele Pasini, Paolo Tonella

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based LLM systems rely on external document corpora that can evolve and change over time. However, current evaluation methodologies (e.g., RAGA…

Testing Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems with Chunk Coverage

Jinhan Kim, Samuele Pasini, Paolo Tonella

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based systems\footnote{For brevity, RAG-based systems are referred to as RAG systems throughout this paper.} are increasingly deployed in high-…

Detecting Trojaned DNNs via Spectral Regression Analysis

Samuele Pasini, Jinhan Kim, Paolo Tonella

Modern DNNs are repeatedly fine-tuned to incorporate new data and functionality. This evolutionary workflow introduces a security risk when updated data cannot be fully trusted, as…

Rulebook: bringing co-routines to reinforcement learning environments

Massimo Fioravanti, Samuele Pasini, Giovanni Agosta

Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, due to their reliance on external systems to learn from, require digital environments (e.g., simulators) with very simple interfaces, which…

Cross-site scripting adversarial attacks based on deep reinforcement learning: Evaluation and extension study

Samuele Pasini, Gianluca Maragliano, Jinhan Kim +1

Cross-site scripting (XSS) poses a significant threat to web application security. While Deep Learning (DL) has shown remarkable success in detecting XSS attacks, it remains vulner…

Evaluating and Improving the Robustness of Security Attack Detectors Generated by LLMs

Samuele Pasini, Jinhan Kim, Tommaso Aiello +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in software development to generate functions, such as attack detectors, that implement security requirements. A key challenge is…
