BlueCodeAgent: A blue teaming agent enabled by automated red teaming for CodeGen AI

Introduction Large language models (LLMs) are now widely used for automated code generation across software engineering tasks. However, this powerful capability in code generation also introduces security concerns. Code generation systems could be misused for harmful purposes, such as generating malicious code. It could also produce bias-filled code reflecting underlying logic that is discriminatory or unethical. Additionally, even when completing benign tasks, LLMs may inadvertently

RedCodeAgent: Automatic red-teaming agent against diverse code agents

Introduction Code agents are AI systems that can generate high-quality code and work smoothly with code interpreters. These capabilities help streamline complex software development workflows, which has led to their widespread adoption. However, this progress also introduces critical safety and security risks. Existing static safety benchmarks and red-teaming methods—in which security researchers simulate real-world attacks to identify security vulnerabilities—often fall short when evaluating code agents. They may fail to detect emerging real-world risks, such as the
