Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Large software systems often involve highly complex logic and are susceptible to various types of violations, including security breaches, access control violations, backup failures, and privacy infringements. In this short paper, we present an architecture along with two illustrative source code analyses: the first traces private information across invocations spanning multiple modules written in different languages, while the second identifies security vulnerabilities related to Crypto Integrity violations as specified in NIST 800-53 SI7(6) specification. The proposed architecture employs a parsing pipeline that generates an in-memory abstract syntax tree (AST) and supports programs written in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Go, and COBOL.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
