Yes I think this is an appropriate view today.

My only caveat would be that in some security fixes, the pure code delta, is not always indicative of the full exploit method. But LLMs could interpolate from there depending on context.

Attackers are not idiots. Once you have the commit, it is usually pretty easy to figure out, even just having the binary diff is usually enough.
