• Abstract: Public vulnerability databases, such as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), document vulnerabilities and facilitate threat information sharing. However, they often suffer from short descriptions and outdated or insufficient information. In this paper, we introduce Zad, a system designed to enrich NVD vulnerability descriptions by leveraging external resources. Zad consists of two pipelines: one collects and filters supplementary data using two encoders to build a detailed dataset, while the other fine-tunes a pre-trained model on this dataset to generate enriched descriptions. By addressing brevity and improving content quality, Zad produces more comprehensive and cohesive vulnerability descriptions. We evaluate Zad using standard summarization metrics and human assessments, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing vulnerability information.

  We propose a data flow embedding technique to enhance the performance of pre-trained models in vulnerability detection tasks. Specifically, we parse data flow graphs from function-level source code, and use the data type of the variable as the node characteristics of the DFG. Our research shows that DFEPT can provide effective vulnerability semantic information to pre-trained models, achieving an accuracy of 64.97% on the Devign dataset and an F1-Score of 47.9% on the Reveal dataset.

  Source code vulnerability detection aims to identify inherent vulnerabilities to safeguard software systems from potential attacks. Many prior studies overlook diverse vulnerability characteristics, simplifying the problem into a binary (0-1) classification task. FGVulDet employs multiple classifiers to discern characteristics of various vulnerability types and combines their outputs to identify the specific type of vulnerability. FGVulDet is trained on a large-scale dataset from GitHub, encompassing five different types of vulnerabilities.
