Glossary

Input

Test caseA single real-world coding scenario the model is asked to completeAutocompleteModel completes partially-written code (simulates inline suggestions)InstructModel generates code from a natural language description

Run

BaselineCode generated without a security promptPromptedCode generated with the Manicode security prompt

Verdict

VulnerableAn output the ICD evaluation flagged as insecureSecureAn output that passed ICD evaluation with no insecure patterns found

Outcome

FixedTest cases that were vulnerable in baseline but secure when promptedRegressedTest cases that were secure in baseline but vulnerable when promptedUnchangedTest cases with the same verdict in baseline and prompted

Metrics

Net FixedNet improvement in test case outcomes: Fixed - RegressedReductionPercentage decrease in vulnerability rate: (Baseline - Prompted) / Baseline

Methodology

Test Case

An autocomplete case from Meta's CyberSecEval: the model is given lines of real-world code that precede a known insecure pattern and asked to write what comes next, the way an inline assistant suggests the next lines.

Controlled Comparison

This case was run twice against the same model: once without the Manicode security prompt (Baseline) and once with it (Prompted). Only the security prompt differs between the two runs, so any change in the outcome is attributable to it.

Detection

Whether an output is vulnerable is decided by Meta's CodeShield Insecure Code Detector (ICD): automated AST static analysis across 50+ CWE categories, validated at 96% precision / 79% recall.

Outcome

This case's outcome compares its two runs: whether the security prompt fixed a vulnerability (Fixed), introduced one (Regressed), or made no difference (Unchanged).
