Code Complexity Metrics and False Positive Rates in LLM-Based Vulnerability Detection

This report synthesises findings from 13 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: What is the correlation between code complexity metrics and the false positive rates of state-of-the-art code LLMs when evaluating vulnerability detection on obfuscated versus clean code datasets. 9 claims were extracted from source literature; 9 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 8.7/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
