No Rigorous Benchmark for SAST Multi-File Exploit Chain Detection
Existing SAST benchmarks measure only simple single-file taint flows, failing to evaluate whether tools can correlate low-severity findings across multiple files into compound exploit paths. Security engineers and tool vendors lack a statistically rigorous, tool-agnostic way to measure how well static analysis tools detect chained vulnerabilities or resist adversarial evasion techniques. This gap means SAST tools can appear performant on standard benchmarks while completely missing real-world attack patterns.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallySemantic Prompt Injection in Multimodal LLM Pipelines Resists Pattern-Based Defenses
As LLM systems consume images, audio, documents, and text together, attackers can embed malicious instructions across modalities that evade detection because the real threat is semantic — attacks using novel framing, narrative manipulation, or multi-turn context poisoning that no pattern-matching classifier can reliably catch. Security teams and developers deploying multimodal pipelines have no robust, generalizable defense layer for intent-based injection, only brittle heuristics that generate high false-positive rates on benign inputs. The problem grows as agentic systems with tool access make successful injection increasingly consequential.
Security Scanners Too Slow for Developer Workflows
Existing security scanners like Semgrep take 10-30 seconds per scan. Developers need sub-second scanning for productive security workflows.
AI Code Audits Miss Entire Bug Classes Because They Sample the Same Semantic Space
When AI models audit code they generated, they are constrained to the same semantic neighborhood as generation and systematically miss entire categories of bugs. Rotating audit prompts orthogonally surfaces new bug classes at each pass, but no existing AI coding tool implements this. Large AI-assisted codebases have hidden quality floors that standard review prompts cannot reach.
LLM-Based Vulnerability Discovery Lacks Responsible Disclosure Framework
Developers experimenting with large language models for automated vulnerability discovery are finding real, validated security flaws in widely-used open source projects and popular applications — including memory corruption bugs and authentication bypasses. There is no structured process or tooling for handling responsible disclosure when AI agents surface vulnerabilities faster than traditional security researchers can triage and report them. This creates a gap where discovered vulnerabilities may sit in ambiguous states — known to the discoverer but unreported — raising both ethical and legal risk.
AI code review tools lack context about the full codebase they are reviewing
Generic AI code review tools only analyze diffs and have no awareness of the broader codebase, missing reinvented utilities, security gaps, and AI-generated code that only makes sense with knowledge of project patterns. This contextual blindness is a structural limitation of current diff-focused review tools in a fast-growing market.
