PatchDB: A Large-Scale Security Patch Dataset
Description
To foster large-scale research on vulnerability mitigation and to enable a comparison of different detection approaches, we make our dataset PatchDB from our DSN'21 paper publicly available.
PatchDB is a large-scale security patch dataset that contains around 12,073 security patches and 23,742 non-security patches from the real world. You can find more details on the dataset in the paper "PatchDB: A Large-Scale Security Patch Dataset". You can also visit our PatchDB official website for more information.
Please use your work emails to request for the dataset. Typically, it takes no longer than 24 hours to get approval.
Data Structure
PatchDB is stored in json
format, where each sample contains 9 keys and has the following format.
{
"category": the type of patch, value:"security" or "non-security",
"source": the source of patch, value: "cve" or "wild",
"CVE_ID": the CVE ID if it exists, value: "CVE-XXXX-XXXXX" or "NA",
"CWE_ID": the CWE ID if it exists, value: "cwe_id" or "NA"
"commit_id": the hash value of the commit, type: str,
"owner": the owner id of the repository, type: str,
"repo": the repository id, type: str,
"commit_message": the commit message part of the patch, type: str,
"diff_code": the diff code part of the patch, type: str
