Security in a Workflow: Exploring Role-Based Agentic Architectures for Vulnerability Handling
Multi-agent AI systems are being designed to handle complete vulnerability management workflows, potentially automating the entire security remediation cycle from detection through verification.

arXiv:2606.14261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Secure software engineering in practice is a multi-stage workflow involving vulnerability analysis, remediation, and fix verification. However, current LLM-based software security approaches often focus on isolated tasks such as detection or patch generation, with limited attention to agentic architectures reflecting industrial workflow. This creates a gap between existing LLM-based vulnerability-handling methods and real-world practices. In this
Editorial Analysis
The automation of vulnerability handling through AI agents could dramatically reduce response times but introduces new risks around autonomous security decisions.
Pilot AI-assisted vulnerability management workflows in controlled environments before considering production deployment.
AI systems are approaching the capability to autonomously manage security vulnerabilities from discovery to fix implementation.
