🛠️ Automated Vulnerability Repair (AVR) Techniques: A Comprehensive Overview. The increasing need for effective software security has led to the development of automated vulnerability repair (AVR) techniques, as detailed in a new Systematization of Knowledge (SoK). This study categorizes AVR methodologies into four main types: template-guided, search-based, constraint-based, and learning-driven approaches, while evaluating their strengths and limitations. The analysis reveals that no single method is superior, with learning-based techniques performing well in specific contexts but struggling with complex vulnerabilities. The SoK also identifies emerging trends and suggests future research directions, providing a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners in the field of software security.
