New Classifier Maps CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques, LLM Labeling Shows No Benefit

Researchers have developed a reproducible pipeline to map Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise techniques using free-text descriptions. Their custom-trained classifier, built on expert-annotated data, significantly outperforms a zero-shot baseline. Investigations into using LLM-assisted labeling to expand this dataset revealed that such labels offer no reliable improvement and can even degrade performance, suggesting that label quality, not just dataset size, is the critical factor for classifier accuracy.

IMPACT Highlights limitations of current LLMs in generating high-quality, reliable labels for specialized cybersecurity tasks.

    Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion

    We present a reproducible pipeline for mapping Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise techniques from free-text vulnerability descriptions. Rather than relying on the CWE->CAPEC->ATT&CK derivation chain, whose table-expansion artifacts we quantify,…
