Reviewing Malware with LLMs: OpenAI vs. Vertex AI

Large Language Models (LLMs) are evaluated for their ability to assess the risk of potentially malicious code snippets, with a focus on the comparison between OpenAI's models and Google's Vertex AI. The assessment process involves using LLMs to assign a risk score on a scale of 0 to 9, rather than a binary classification, which helps in more nuanced evaluations. Improvements in the LLM-assisted review process include removing comments to reduce the risk of prompt injection and expanding context size. In the comparison, OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo and Google's text-bison often agree on risk scores, but diverge in cases where code is obfuscated. OpenAI's gpt-4 model is noted to provide superior explanations and risk evaluations for non-obfuscated code. The blog also discusses the manageable risk of prompt injection in this context, due to the requirement for code to adhere to syntactic rules, which allows for pre-processing steps like removing comments to mitigate risks.
