Large language models for automatic bug finding in source code analysis H/F

Subject

JOIN US, TO DO WHAT?

Contribute to technological innovation for clean and safe energy, health and well-being, sustainable transportation, information and communications, space exploration, safety and security: that is the mission of CEA - Leti.

In the context of an ITSEF, the security evaluation of a software component usually requires a source code review (audit) performed by an evaluator who needs to be assisted by static analysis tools that can be configured and customized to help checking security requirements.

The code analysis methodology applied at Leti ITSEF mainly consists in the following 2 operations: (1) extract a piece of source code to verify a particular property, (2) try to automatically prove the property, and in case of unknown status (the proof failed) search path conditions to violate the property.

Such violations may reveal vulnerabilities to be exploited by malicious input data (software attack) combined with fault injection (hardware attack).

Job description

Join us for an internship!

CEA Tech Corporate from CEA Tech on Vimeo

As an intern at CEA, you will have the opportunity to work in a world-renowned research environment.

Our teams are made up of passionate and dedicated experts, offering a framework conducive to learning and collaboration.

You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and first-rate research resources to carry out your assignments.

Main goals

(1) Investigate how LLM can be used to assist evaluators in finding bug automatically in source code.

For example, a research question is how IA could assist the user in generating formal specification, which is a long repetitive and complex process.

(2) Assess how LLM perform and can be complementary to traditional tools used for evaluation (formal methods, using Frama-C and Lazart).

Internship tasks

•Literature review of LLMs solutions for automatic bug finding.


•Test of LLMs on open benchmarks of source code containing vulnerabilities ([3,4])


•Evaluation of a scope where LLM is relevant (, where it can be complementary, to assist the evaluator)


•Proposition of a methodology to assist source code analysis with LLMs
