AMMF: Attention-Driven Multi-Feature Fusion for Scalable Cross-Architecture Binary Vulnerability Det

Tuesday September 22, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm PDT

Detecting vulnerabilities in compiled binaries remains a major challenge for security teams, especially when software is reused across different architectures, compilers, and optimization settings. These variations significantly alter binary representations, making traditional detection techniques brittle and difficult to scale.

This talk introduces AMMF (Attention-Driven Multi-Feature Fusion), a novel approach for cross-architecture binary vulnerability detection that combines semantic understanding with structural analysis. AMMF leverages assembly-level embeddings to capture instruction semantics, while integrating control-flow and function-level attributes to model program behavior. An attention-enhanced neural architecture unifies these diverse features into a robust representation that generalizes across heterogeneous environments.

To improve both scalability and precision, AMMF employs a two-stage detection pipeline. First, a deep similarity model efficiently identifies high-risk candidate functions from large binary corpora. Then, a graph-matching refinement step analyzes control-flow structures to confirm vulnerabilities and reduce false positives.

In experimental evaluations, AMMF achieves 95.79% accuracy and 97.06% recall, outperforming current state-of-the-art methods across cross-architecture, cross-compiler, and cross-optimization scenarios.

This session will demonstrate how combining machine learning, attention mechanisms, and program analysis can significantly improve vulnerability detection in real-world software supply chains—where code reuse and platform diversity are the norm.
