Does Fixing Break Security? An Empirical Study of Security Degradation in Iterative LLM-Driven Infrastructure-as-Code Repair
This empirical study examines whether iterative LLM-based repair of Infrastructure-as-Code inadvertently introduces new security regressions while fixing existing issues. The findings challenge commonly reported cumulative improvement metrics by analyzing per-iteration security outcomes, revealing potential risks in automated remediation workflows.
