Summary

CVE2AP turns vulnerability descriptions into formal planning models and uses execution errors for revision.

The study reports up to 86.9 percent syntax correctness and 78.6 percent solvability, with planner feedback yielding consistent improvement. Its 93.1 percent semantic-correctness figure uses a model-as-expert judge, so a solvable generated attack path still needs independent semantic review.

Why it matters

Corrections

: Publication note: This October 4 edition was reconstructed on October 5 after the workstation was offline. It uses original October 2 submissions from the standard Sunday-evening arXiv release, rather than claiming those papers were available for the missed 9 AM run. The date and 9 AM publication slot preserve archive chronology; October 5 developments are excluded. The September 27 Invention Desk is carried over because its replacement was generated October 5.
