Zibaeirad and Vieira (arXiv:2606.20502) find that strong benchmark scores on LLM vulnerability detection can reflect pattern-matching on contaminated data rather than genuine security reasoning. That's a direct caution for the 2026 wave of autonomous CVE-discovery agents. Treat benchmark-leading vuln-detection models skeptically and test for data contamination and out-of-distribution generalization before you trust one to gate your security pipeline.
