Beyond Reproducibility: Towards Security-Aware Evaluation of Research Artifacts
Position paper argues that academic artifact evaluation should include security checks, not just reproducibility—relevant to teams consuming research prototypes in production toolchains.

arXiv:2605.06508v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Research artifacts are widely shared to support reproducibility, and artifact evaluation (AE) has become common at many leading conferences. However, AE mainly checks whether artifacts work as claimed and can be reproduced. It does not aim at spotting or mitigitating potential security risks. Since these artifacts are publicly released and reused, they may unintentionally create opportunities for misuse and raise concerns about safe and respon
Editorial Analysis
Organisations that adopt research prototypes risk inheriting unvetted vulnerabilities; formalising security evaluation at the publication stage could reduce downstream exposure.
