New AI approach automates security pattern recovery from code

Researchers have developed SecPatRec, a novel hybrid approach for automatically identifying and recovering security patterns from source code repositories. This method combines a ReAct-style LLM agent with semantic and lexical code search for detecting and grounding security pattern roles, and uses static code property graph analysis to recover interaction sequences. SecPatRec was evaluated on a dataset of 100 security pattern instances across 93 open-source Java and Python repositories, achieving high accuracy in role detection and grounding, and a respectable score for interaction recovery. The approach demonstrated superior performance and cost-efficiency compared to a baseline LLM, offering valuable evidence for inspecting security-pattern implementations. AI

IMPACT This approach could enhance software security by automating the identification and verification of security patterns in codebases.

    A Hybrid Approach for Automated Security Pattern Recovery

    arXiv:2611.05823v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Security-by-design emphasises integrating security into software design and development. Security pattern catalogues operationalise this principle by prescribing reusable architectural solutions to recurring security problems. How…
