LLM-Assisted Dynamic Threat Analysis for Attacker-Reachable Software Weaknesses in Autonomous Vehicles
The research explores using LLMs to automate the discovery and exploitation of security weaknesses in autonomous vehicle software, moving beyond static analysis to confirm vulnerabilities are actually reachable through malicious input. This addresses a practical gap in testing safety-critical systems by leveraging LLM capabilities to generate test cases that would otherwise require extensive manual engineering.
