R+R: Reassessing Java Security API Misuse in Current LLMs: A Replication on JCA and JSSE APIs with External Security Knowledge
Current LLMs continue generating insecure Java cryptographic code despite recent security training, suggesting fundamental limitations in AI-assisted secure development practices.

arXiv:2605.31135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The misuse of Java security APIs is a serious security problem in software development. Research in 2024 has shown that this problem is widespread in LLM-generated code. However, it remains unclear whether this phenomenon persists in current models and how external security knowledge affects it. This paper presents a scoped replication and extension of Mousavi et al.'s study on the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) and Java Secure Socket Extens
