| 2026 | Bridging Expert Reasoning and LLM Detection: A Knowledge-Driven Framework for Malicious PackagesabstractOpen-source ecosystems such as NPM and PyPI are increasingly targeted by supply chain attacks, yet existing detection methods either depend on fragile handcrafted rules or data-driven features that fail to capture evolving attack semantics. We present IntelGuard, a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) based framework that integrates expert analytical reasoning into automated malicious package detection. IntelGuard constructs a structured knowledge base from over 8,000 threat intelligence reports, linking malicious code snippets with behavioral descriptions and expert reasoning. When analyzing new packages, it retrieves semantically similar malicious examples and applies LLM-guided reasoning to assess whether code behaviors align with intended functionality. Experiments on 4,027 real-world packages show that IntelGuard achieves 99% accuracy and a 0.50% false positive rate, while maintaining 96.5% accuracy on obfuscated code. Deployed on PyPI.org, it discovered 54 previously unreported malicious packages, demonstrating interpretable and robust detection guided by expert knowledge.

| 2025 | Oedipus: LLM-enchanced Reasoning CAPTCHA SolverabstractCAPTCHAs have become a ubiquitous tool in safeguarding applications from automated bots. Over time, the arms race between CAPTCHA development and evasion techniques has led to increasingly sophisticated and diverse designs. The latest iteration, reasoning CAPTCHAs, exploits tasks that are intuitively simple for humans but challenging for conventional AI technologies, thereby enhancing security measures.

| 2022 | Viopolicy-Detector: An Automated Approach to Detecting GDPR Suspected Compliance Violations in WebsitesabstractTo provide users with personalized services, the website collects and tracks user’s activity data. At the same time, each website uses a privacy policy to ensure the legality of these actions. The purpose of the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is to protect the privacy of user data. Because GDPR is a programmatic regulation, there is no specific guidance on what a privacy policy should contain. Therefore, there may still be potential violations on the website, thus cause a risk of leak users’ private data. In this paper, we define a violating behavior that data collected by the website without a declaration in the privacy policy is illegal. To complete the violating behavior detection, we first interpret the GDPR and analyze 1000 website privacy policies to present a personal data classification including eight categories. Based on this, we propose a privacy policy annotation scheme including these eight categories and collect 145 related Web APIs. Then we propose an automated method to detect GDPR suspected compliance violations in websites. On the one hand we use the multi-label text classification model to extract data collection stated in the privacy policy, with a precision of 0.9817. For another, we dynamically monitor the JavaScript calls of the website related to personal data collection during user visits. Finally, we compare the two results to determine whether violating behaviors appeared. We use this method to detect the European top 500 websites (actually 451 websites). A total of 159 (35.3%) websites appear in violation of the GDPR. We analyze the detection results from different perspectives, including statistics on the types of data declared in the privacy policy, statistics on data collected by the website, and which data collection is likely to cause violations. Then we classify the violating websites and find that websites in the Social category present the most violations. Finally, we count the rankings of the offending websites. Surprisingly, top-ranking sites are even more prone to breaches. There are even some globally well-known websites with violations, such as BBC, Nokia, Ebay, Google etc. Haoran Ou, Yong Fang 0002, Yongyan Guo, Wenbo Guo 0011, Cheng Huang 0003 |
