📝 摘要(中文)
本文系统分析了利用大型语言模型(LLMs)如GPT-4在智能合约中挖掘漏洞的机会、挑战及潜在解决方案。智能合约漏洞检测的实用性依赖于尽可能识别真实漏洞,同时最小化假阳性数量。我们的实证研究揭示了有趣的发现:生成更多随机性较高的答案虽然提高了正确答案的可能性,但也不可避免地增加了假阳性。为缓解这一矛盾,我们提出了名为GPTLens的对抗框架,将传统的单阶段检测分为生成和鉴别两个协同阶段,LLM分别充当审计者和评论者。实验结果表明,审计者和评论者的协同工作显著改善了传统单阶段检测的效果。GPTLens直观、战略性强,完全依赖LLM驱动,展示了其方法的普遍性和检测广泛漏洞的潜力。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义:本文旨在解决智能合约漏洞检测中高假阳性率的问题。现有方法往往在识别真实漏洞与控制假阳性之间存在矛盾,影响了检测的实用性。
核心思路:论文的核心思路是通过对抗性框架GPTLens,将传统的单阶段检测分为生成和鉴别两个阶段。生成阶段旨在识别多样化的漏洞,而鉴别阶段则负责评估这些漏洞的有效性,从而减少假阳性。
技术框架:GPTLens的整体架构包括两个主要模块:审计者和评论者。审计者负责生成潜在漏洞,评论者则对这些漏洞进行评估和筛选,确保最终结果的准确性。
关键创新:GPTLens的主要创新在于将检测过程分为两个阶段,使得生成与鉴别相辅相成。这一设计与传统单阶段检测方法的本质区别在于其能够更有效地平衡漏洞识别与假阳性控制。
关键设计:在关键设计方面,GPTLens采用了特定的损失函数来优化生成和鉴别阶段的性能,同时在网络结构上进行了调整,以确保两个模块的协同工作。

📄 摘要(原文)
This paper provides a systematic analysis of the opportunities, challenges, and potential solutions of harnessing Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 to dig out vulnerabilities within smart contracts based on our ongoing research. For the task of smart contract vulnerability detection, achieving practical usability hinges on identifying as many true vulnerabilities as possible while minimizing the number of false positives. Nonetheless, our empirical study reveals contradictory yet interesting findings: generating more answers with higher randomness largely boosts the likelihood of producing a correct answer but inevitably leads to a higher number of false positives. To mitigate this tension, we propose an adversarial framework dubbed GPTLens that breaks the conventional one-stage detection into two synergistic stages $-$ generation and discrimination, for progressive detection and refinement, wherein the LLM plays dual roles, i.e., auditor and critic, respectively. The goal of auditor is to yield a broad spectrum of vulnerabilities with the hope of encompassing the correct answer, whereas the goal of critic that evaluates the validity of identified vulnerabilities is to minimize the number of false positives. Experimental results and illustrative examples demonstrate that auditor and critic work together harmoniously to yield pronounced improvements over the conventional one-stage detection. GPTLens is intuitive, strategic, and entirely LLM-driven without relying on specialist expertise in smart contracts, showcasing its methodical generality and potential to detect a broad spectrum of vulnerabilities.
