Execution-Grounded Security Testing for Coding Agents in Software Engineering Pipelines

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.22569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents are increasingly integrated into system operations, where their tool use can directly modify project artifacts, execution environments, and the underlying system. For example, if a coding agent inserts a hook into a system startup or configuration script, that change can persist after the interaction, be triggered later, and abuse delegated user or system privileges to modify the system. This makes security testing a system problem: the key question is not only what the agent says, but what it actually does to the surrounding environment. We present an execution-grounded red-team testing framework for probing this execution-layer security boundary using observable sandbox evidence, including tool invocations, runtime traces, and
