RustMizan: A Compilable, Contamination-Aware Benchmarking Framework for Rust Vulnerabilities

arXiv:2607.04729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly applied to vulnerability analysis, but existing benchmarks have not kept pace. They typically rely on small non-compilable snippets, focus on binary classification (vulnerable or not), and do not account for the risk that publicly-released datasets are part of model training corpora. We introduce RustMizan, a benchmarking framework for Rust vulnerability analysis that addresses these gaps. RustMizan contains compilable code variants at the crate, file, and function levels, with annotations for binary vulnerability de

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing integration of LLM agents into vulnerability analysis highlights a critical need for robust and contamination-aware benchmarking, which existing methods have not adequately addressed.

Why it’s important

Improved and contamination-aware benchmarking for AI in cybersecurity is crucial for developing reliable AI agents that can effectively identify and mitigate software vulnerabilities, particularly given the reliance on LLMs for these tasks.

What changes

A new framework, RustMizan, offers more rigorous and realistic evaluation of AI agents in cybersecurity by providing compilable code and addressing data contamination, improving the reliability of vulnerability analysis benchmarks.
