Syscall-based HIDS generalization to unseen CVEs shows mixed results

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers explored the generalization capabilities of system-call based Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS). They investigated whether a HIDS trained on normal behavior for specific Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) sharing a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) class could detect unseen CVEs within the same class. The study found that while CWE-level generalization is achievable for some weakness families, it is not universal and is heavily influenced by the breadth of the normal behavior profile rather than solely the CWE label. AI

IMPACT This research explores the limitations and potential of generalization in security systems, which could inform the development of more robust AI-driven intrusion detection.

    From CVE to CWE: Syscall-Based HIDS Generalisation

    Host intrusion detection systems (HIDS) based on system-call traces are typically trained and evaluated against individual Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) instances. In operational settings, however, defenders need to recognise new exploits of an already known type of …
