CVE_KeyPhrases
CVE_KeyPhrases is a dataset of published CVEs with the Key Risk Phrases (for Impact, Weakness, Attack) extracted.
- It is released under license": "cc-by-sa-4.0"
- Please see the BSides Dublin 2024 presentation video and deck.
The dataset includes:
- ~230K published CVEs (excluding those marked Rejected) i.e. all CVEs up to April 3 2024 NVD Published date.
- The CVE ID, Description text, and Key Risk Phrases
As of April 2024, CVE_KeyPhrases stands as the largest dataset of CVEs with extracted Key Risk Phrases with high Precision (how many retrieved items are relevant?) and Recall (how many relevant items are retrieved?).
- It's an initial release and will be improved and enriched over time.
The dataset Key Risk Phrases can be used
- directly and included with CVEs e.g. https://github.com/CVEProject/cve-schema/blob/30f59c7de92fbc77bddade302601cb500c66f718/schema/docs/cnaContainer-advanced-example.json#L20
"impacts": [ { "capecId": "CAPEC-233", "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "CAPEC-233 Privilege Escalation" } ] } ],
- used to train an ML model for NER or Classification.

Distribution
The Top 100 KeyPhrases (by total count of instances across all CVEs)
- Many of these KeyPhrases are different ways of expressing the same thing e.g. "cross-site scripting (xss)", "cross site scripting (xss)", "xss",...
