Helpful or Harmful? Evaluating LLM-Assisted Vulnerability Patching via a Human Study

1. 1Conduct a human study to evaluate the effectiveness of LLM-assisted vulnerability patching
2. 2Analyze the results to identify potential risks and benefits
3. 3Assess the security expertise required for LLM-assisted patching
4. 4Compare the patching outcomes with and without LLM assistance
5. 5Evaluate the likelihood of introducing hallucinations or insecure code

Developers and security experts on a team can benefit from understanding the potential benefits and drawbacks of using LLM-assisted tools for vulnerability patching, to improve their software development workflow and security

💡 LLM-assisted vulnerability patching can accelerate patching but also risks introducing insecure code, highlighting the need for careful evaluation and expertise
