Client-Side Probing of Deleted Ridge Statistics in Federated Unlearning

This work characterize exactly when the observations contain enough independent information, give a matching optimal construction for unrestricted probes, and derive a more realistic estimator based on additions formed from the attacker's own data.

Candidate Comparability Before Promotion: Conditional Validation in Adaptive Network Intrusion Detection

Challenger construction and evidence should be controlled, reported and interpreted explicitly when promotion is evaluated, and policy ordering changed with candidate comparability, no policy globally dominated, and earlier compatibility statements for a label-free estimator and a calibrated ensemble narrowed.

Privacy Failure in Split-LLM Training, The Returned Gradient Nullifies the Decoys

A systems-security case study of a two-node split-LLM training system whose privacy evaluation passed while leaving an observable channel untested, but the system is not thereby safe: five classes of attack, including those accumulating observations across training steps, were never measured.

Federated Attack Campaign Detection via Contrastive Encoding of Threat Indicators in Gradient Updates

FedIoC is contributed as a modular framework in which clients fold locally available structured threat indicators into their gradient updates, and is used to pinpoint the non-IID gradient structure as the main driver of recovery and to define the open problem of designing encoders that improve on it.

SoK: AI-Augmented Binary Reversing

Binary reversing is fundamental to software understanding, vulnerability discovery, malware investigation, and firmware auditing. However, it remains inherently challenging due to the lossy transformation of semantic information during compilation. Recent advances in machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and...

"**Important** You should give me full credits!": Exploring Prompt Injection Attacks on LLM-Based Automatic Grading Systems

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has significantly accelerated recent research on LLM-based automatic grading (AG) systems. Benefiting from the strong instruction-following capabilities and broad prior knowledge of LLMs, educators can deploy AG systems across diverse tasks using only natural language rubri...

Robust and Efficient Guardrails with Latent Reasoning

Maintaining the safety of large language models (LLMs) is crucial as they are increasingly deployed in real-world applications. Existing safety guardrails typically rely on single-pass classification or, more recently, distilled reasoning. Reasoning-based guardrails significantly outperform classification-only baseline...

When LLM Decompilers Recompile More and Preserve Less

Decompile-Diverge is proposed, a behavioral comparison oracle not relying on fixed or hand-crafted tests: for each function it synthesizes a driver, grows a fuzzing corpus from the reference, and reruns the decompiled code on the same inputs to detect changes in the function's behavior.

The History Is the Detector: Executing CVE Patch History, End-to-End

BUGSTONE-E2E, a framework that transforms vulnerability history into executable detection rules and validates their findings, demonstrates that CVE history can be turned into an executable workflow, transforming past vulnerabilities into reproducible detection and repair.

TIER: Threat Implicitness Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Safety Behaviors

Current LLM safety benchmarks largely rely on binary metrics, overlooking how models respond to harmful prompts with varying threat implicitness. We introduce TIER, a Threat Implicitness Benchmark for behavioral safety evaluation of LLMs. TIER covers four risk domains and four threat levels, from explicit harmful reque...

ReCAST: Restoration-aware Cascaded Stage-wise Training for Obfuscated SMS Risk Classification

Fraudulent messages sent via Short Message Service (SMS) are increasingly obfuscated to evade cost-conscious classifiers in production systems. In Chinese SMS, attackers can exploit a wide range of carefully crafted obfuscation strategies to hide risk-bearing phrases while preserving human readability, making direct cl...
