arXiv:2610.08405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models have emerged as promising tools for software vulnerability analysis, but their effectiveness depends heavily on prompt design. Existing research primarily compares prompting strategies using aggregate performance metrics, providing limited insight into why models fail or how prompts can be improved systematically. We propose Failure-Driven Prompt Refinement (FDPR), a methodology that analyzes recurring model failures to guide evidence-based prompt refinement. Using the Damn Vulnerable Java Application (DVJA), we identify r
