AISecDev 2026
Secure Software Development in the Age of AI
AISecDev 2026 is a workshop co-located with CBSoft 2026, dedicated to the emerging security challenges introduced by AI-assisted software development, large language models, and autonomous code generation tools.
The workshop will take place on September 8, 2026, at IME-USP, São Paulo, Brazil.
About
Software is no longer only written — it is increasingly generated. AI-based programming assistants and autonomous code generation tools are changing how software is designed, implemented, tested, and maintained.
Development workflows are shifting from writing and maintaining stable code artifacts to producing software through specifications, prompts, and AI agents. In this new setting, each execution may generate a different program, raising new concerns for security, traceability, auditing, certification, and trustworthy deployment.
AISecDev aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss how software security is affected by AI-assisted development, including emerging industry practices, new threat models such as prompt injection and agent misuse, and the broader implications of ephemeral generated code.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Security challenges introduced by AI-assisted programming and LLM-generated code.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) and DevSecOps practices with generative AI.
- Ephemeral, dynamically generated, and prompt-driven software.
- Traceability, testing, verification, and reproducibility of AI-generated code.
- Threat models and attacks involving AI agents.
- Prompt injection, data exfiltration, agent misuse, and supply-chain risks.
- Analysis, auditing, and certification of AI-generated software.
- Vulnerability detection and formal verification.
- Privacy, governance, compliance, and industrial experience reports.
Submission
AISecDev welcomes submissions that promote interaction, discussion, and community building between researchers and practitioners working on the security implications of AI-assisted software development.
We invite the following types of contributions:
- Research papers
- Position papers
- Experience reports
- Tool demonstrations
- Work-in-progress papers
- Extended abstracts
- Short summaries of recently published results relevant to the workshop theme
Submissions should clearly explain their implications for secure software development in the context of AI-generated or AI-assisted software.
The works should be submited as Short Papers (max 4 pages including references). Papers may be submitted in Portuguese or English and must be uploaded in PDF format via the JEMS system. The conference template is available on Overleaf and also as a ZIP package (please see below). Authors may use either version, but all submissions must strictly follow the official CBSoft 2026 template. Although this template is adapted from the ACM conference format, authors must not use the original ACM_SigConf template. The same adapted template is used across all symposia and workshops co-located with CBSoft 2026.

Reviewing Process
Submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee, which may also invite external reviewers when appropriate. Rather than focusing solely on novelty, the review process will consider:
- Relevance to the workshop theme
- Clarity of presentation
- Potential to stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas
- Interest to the research and practitioner community
The workshop aims to promote interaction and community building rather than serve primarily as a competitive publication venue.
