| # PySecDB: security commit dataset in Python |
|
|
| ## Description |
|
|
| To foster large-scale research on vulnerability mitigation and to enable a comparison of different detection approaches, we make our dataset ***PySecDB*** from our ICSME23 paper publicly available. |
|
|
| PySecDB is a real-world Python security commit dataset that contains around 1.2K security commits and 2.8K non-security commits. You can find more details on the dataset in the paper *"[Exploring Security Commits in Python](https://csis.gmu.edu/ksun/)"*. |
|
|
| ## Data Structure |
|
|
| PySecDB is stored in `json` format, where each sample contains 5 keys and has the following format; |
| ```json |
| { |
| "id": the id for each entry, |
| "label": the type of patch, value:"security" or "non-security", |
| "content": the content of patch, type: str, |
| "source": the source of patch, value: "MITRE" or "wild", |
| "CVE-ID": the CVE ID if it exists, value: "CVE-XXXX-XXXXX" or "NA", |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Disclaimer & Download Agreement<span id="jump"></span> |
|
|
| To download the PySecDB dataset, you must agree with the succeeding Disclaimer & Download Agreement items. You should carefully read the following terms before submitting the PySecDB request form. |
|
|
| - PySecDB is constructed and cross-checked by 3 experts that work in security patch research. |
| Due to the potential misclassification led by subjective factors, the Sun Security Laboratory (SunLab) cannot guarantee 100% accuracy for samples in the dataset. |
|
|
| - The copyright of the PySecDB dataset is owned by SunLab. |
|
|
| - The purpose of using PySecDB should be non-commercial research and/or personal use. The dataset should not be used for commercial use or any profitable purpose. |
|
|
| - **Access to this dataset requires applying with a verified work or educational email address.** |
|
|
| - The PySecDB dataset should not be re-sell or redistributed. Anyone who has obtained PySecDB should not share the dataset with others without permission from SunLab. |
