New VEX-Bench paper accepted to EMNLP 2026

A new paper titled "VEX-Bench: Benchmarking LLM Agents for Assessing Exploitability of Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities" has been accepted to EMNLP 2026. The research introduces VEX-Bench, a benchmark designed to evaluate how effectively LLM agents can identify and exploit vulnerabilities within software supply chains. This work aims to advance the field of AI-driven cybersecurity by providing a standardized method for assessing the security implications of LLM agents. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could improve the security of software supply chains by enabling better evaluation of LLM agent capabilities in identifying vulnerabilities.
