  "summary": "Assessing vulnerability detection tools for smart contracts requires datasets with known ground truth, yet such datasets are scarce and difficult to build by hand. We propose an approach that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically inject vulnerabilities into Solidity smart contracts, and demonstrate it in a case study targeting 49 vulnerability types from OpenSCV. Injected contracts…",
