Title: AXE: Grey-Box Exploitability Confirmation for Localized Vulnerability Reports
Abstract:
arXiv:2602.14345v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vulnerability detection tools are widely adopted in software projects, yet they often overwhelm maintainers with false positives and non-actionable reports. Automated exploitation systems can help validate these reports; however, existing approaches typically operate in isolation from detection pipelines, failing to leverage readily available metadata such as vulnerability type and source-code location. In this paper, we investigate how r
