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.
