Vulnerability benchmark generation algorithm based on finite state machines by XIE Yuandong, YAN Xuexiong, ZHAO Guangsheng, ZHAO Xu, QIU Han

“…Third, cyclomatic complexity wrappers were used to encapsulate path elements, thereby simulating the intricate structures of real-world code. Experimental results demonstrate that the generated benchmarks more closely resemble the complexity of real software, effectively exposing biases and deficiencies in vulnerability detection tools across different code paths. …”
