🧠A comprehensive survey of 87 machine learning vulnerability detection studies reveals that the field has stalled despite a decade of research, trapped in self-reinforcing feedback loops that optimize for narrow, artificial problems. Researchers identify twelve interconnected pain points spanning datasets, formulations, metrics, and evaluation approaches that perpetuate focus on binary C/C++ function-level classification while neglecting vulnerability type prediction, multilingual support, and broader detection granularities.

🤖Researchers propose a cryptographic registry provenance system to prevent dependency confusion attacks in software ecosystems by requiring mandatory publisher signatures, cryptographic registry identity, registry countersignatures, and consumer-side enforcement. Analysis of eight major ecosystems reveals none currently implement all four defense layers, leaving package managers vulnerable to attacks that exploit the lack of provenance verification.
