Education and career

Born in Belmont County, Ohio, Pollock received an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Franklin College in 1882 and read law to enter the bar in 1884. He was in private practice in Newton, Iowa from 1884 to 1885, then in Hartsville, Missouri until 1886, and then in Winfield, Kansas until 1901. He was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas from 1901 to 1903.[1]

Federal judicial service

Pollock was nominated by President Theodore Roosevelt on November 25, 1903, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Kansas vacated by Judge William Cather Hook. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 1, 1903, and received his commission the same day.[1] On January 7, 1928, President Calvin Coolidge certified Pollock involuntarily as disabled in accordance with the act of February 25, 1919, 40 Stat. 1156, which entitled the president to appoint an additional judge for the court and provided that no successor to the judge certified as disabled be appointed.[2] George Thomas McDermott was appointed to the additional judgeship.[2] Pollock's service terminated on January 24, 1937, due to his death.[1]

However, codeoften contains bugs—and so, given the vast quantity of unvettedcode that Copilot has processed, it is certain that the languagemodel will have learned from exploitable, buggy code. Thisraises concerns on the security of Copilot’s code contributions.In this work, we systematically investigate the prevalence andconditions that can cause GitHub Copilot to recommend insecurecode. To perform this analysis we prompt Copilot to generatecode in scenarios relevant to high-risk CWEs (e.g. those fromMITRE’s “Top 25” list). We explore Copilot’s performance onthree distinct code generation axes—examining how it performsgiven diversity of weaknesses, diversity of prompts, and diversityof domains. In total, we produce 89 different scenarios forCopilot to complete, producing 1,692 programs. Of these, wefound approximately 40 % to be vulnerable.Index Terms—Cybersecurity, AI, code generation, CWE
