Learn, Check, Test -- Security Testing Using Automata Learning and Model Checking

Learn, Check, Test -- Security Testing Using Automata Learning and Model Checking

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.22215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cyber-physical systems are part of industrial systems and critical infrastructure. Therefore, they should be examined in a comprehensive manner to verify their correctness and security. At the same time, the complexity of such systems demands such examinations to be systematic and, if possible, automated for efficiency and accuracy. A method that can be useful in this context is model checking. However, this requires a model that faithfully...

STAF: Leveraging LLMs for Automated Attack Tree-Based Security Test Generation

STAF: Leveraging LLMs for Automated Attack Tree-Based Security Test Generation

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.20190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In modern automotive development, security testing is critical for safeguarding systems against increasingly advanced threats. Attack trees are widely used to systematically represent potential attack vectors, but generating comprehensive test cases from these trees remains a labor-intensive, error-prone task that has seen limited automation in the context of testing vehicular systems. This paper introduces STAF (Security Test Automation...

Synergizing Static Analysis with Large Language Models for Vulnerability Discovery and beyond

Synergizing Static Analysis with Large Language Models for Vulnerability Discovery and beyond

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.15433v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This report examines the synergy between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to improve vulnerability discovery. Traditional SAST tools, while effective for proactive security, are limited by high false-positive rates and a lack of contextual understanding. Conversely, LLMs excel at code analysis and pattern recognition but can be prone to inconsistencies and hallucinations. By integrating these two...

Hey everyone, junior dev here doing some security testing. Found something weird and need a sanity check. Ran curl on a healthcare platform's API and it returned: access-control-allow-origin: localhost:3000 This seems... wrong? Like devs can hit production from their laptops? They have SOC 2 badges on their site. Am I missing something or is this actually bad? submitted by /u/Queasy-Cartoonist117 [link] [comments]

Automated Testing of Broken Authentication Vulnerabilities in Web APIs with AuthREST

Automated Testing of Broken Authentication Vulnerabilities in Web APIs with AuthREST

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.10320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AuthREST, an open-source security testing tool targeting broken authentication, one of the most prevalent API security risks in the wild. AuthREST automatically tests web APIs for credential stuffing, password brute forcing, and unchecked token authenticity. Empirical results show that AuthREST is effective in improving web API security. Notably, it uncovered previously unknown authentication vulnerabilitiesin in four public APIs.
