How to replicate

About the Environment Setup

First of all, clone this repository to your local machine and access the main dir via the following command:

git clone https://github.com/anon-ai-research/LineVul.git
cd LineVul

Then, install the python dependencies via the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

About the Datasets

All of the dataset has the same number of columns (i.e., 39 cols), we focus on the following 3 columns to conduct our experiments:

  1. processed_func (str): The original function written in C/C++
  2. target (int): The function-level label that determines whether a function is vulnerable or not
  3. vul_func_with_fix (str): The fixed function with added in deleted lines labeled
processed_func target vul_func_with_fix
... ... ...

For more information of our dataset, please refer to this paper and this repository.

About the Models

Model Naming Convention

All of the models in the Google Drive are named based on the convention described in the following table:

Model Name Model Specification
LineVul BPE Tokenizer + Pre-training (Codesearchnet) + BERT
BPEBERT BPE Tokenizer + No Pre-training + BERT
WordlevelPretrainedBERT Wordlevel Tokenizer + Pre-training (Codesearchnet) + BERT
WordlevelBERT Wordlevel Tokenizer + No Pre-training + BERT

How to access the models

  • All of the models included in our experiments can be downloaded from public Google Drive.

About the Experiment Replication

We provide a csv file that contains all of the raw function-level predictions by LineVul, run the following commands to download:

cd linevul
cd results
gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1WqvMoALIbL3V1KNQpGvvTIuc3TL5v5Q8
cd ../..

We recommend to use GPU with 8 GB up memory for training since BERT architecture is very computing intensive.

Note. If the specified batch size is not suitable for your device, please modify --eval_batch_size and --train_batch_size to fit your GPU memory.

Before replicating the experiment results, please download the dataset as described below, if you want to retrain the model, you need to download training, evaluation, and testing dataset. If you just need to reproduce the results (inference only), then downloading testing dataset alone is enough.

To download the testing dataset used for evaluation in our experiments, run the following commands:

cd data
cd big-vul_dataset
gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1h0iFJbc5DGXCXXvvR6dru_Dms_b2zW4V
cd ../..

To download the training and evaluation dataset used for evaluation in our experiments, run the following commands:

cd data
cd big-vul_dataset
gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ldXyFvHG41VMrm260cK_JEPYqeb6e6Yw
gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1yggncqivMcP0tzbh8-8Eu02Edwcs44WZ
cd ../..

To download the whole (i.e., train+val+test) unsplit dataset dataset, run the following commands:

cd data
cd big-vul_dataset
gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=10-kjbsA806Zdk54Ax8J3WvLKGTzN8CMX
