Detection of data‑only attacks hidden in business logic
Problem
Current static analysis and fuzzing tools struggle to detect data‑only attacks that are embedded within legitimate business processes such as e‑commerce refund workflows, resulting in undetected fraud. Moreover, existing solutions often rely on LLM wrappers rather than dedicated analytical tools, leaving a gap for robust, specialized detection methods.
Pain points
- Data‑only attacks hidden in legitimate business logic (e.g., e‑commerce refunds) are hard to detect
- Existing tools are mostly LLM wrappers, lacking dedicated static analysis capabilities
Questions to verify
- Have you encountered data‑only attacks hidden within legitimate logic in your own business processes?
- Do current detection tools meet your needs?
- Which type of security analysis tool do you prefer (static analysis, dynamic monitoring, specialized tools, etc.)?

Data-only attacks are somewhat low-hanging fruit. Classical static analysis could already find them before AI got this strong, and LLMs make identification even easier. But the real threat is risk buried in business logic, especially abuse of normal business logic. Take e-commerce refund abuse. Bug hunters would not even call it a risk, yet fraud rings have arbitraged millions off this kind of logic. And because the logic is legitimate business logic, it is very hard to detect.

I'm positively surprised that their tool is not yet another LLM wrapper.The quality of research (and by extent HN submissions) has really plummeted since LLMs have become marginally useful
