# Merged BigVul and PrimeVul Dataset

**Dataset ID**: `mahdin70/merged_bigvul_primevul`

This dataset is a merged and preprocessed combination of the **BigVul** (`bstee615/bigvul`) and **PrimeVul** (`colin/PrimeVul`, "default" configuration) datasets, designed for vulnerability analysis and machine learning tasks. The preprocessing ensures consistency in column names, data types, and formats, making it suitable for fine-tuning models.


## Dataset Overview

The dataset integrates vulnerability data from two sources:
- **BigVul**: A dataset of real-world vulnerabilities from open-source C/C++ projects.
  - **Paper**: (https://doi.org/10.1145/3379597.3387501)
  - **Repository**: (https://github.com/ZeoVan/MSR_20_Code_vulnerability_CSV_Dataset)
- **PrimeVul**: A vulnerability dataset with additional project-specific details.
  - **Paper**: (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2403.18624)
  - **Repository**:(https://github.com/DLVulDet/PrimeVul)

The merged dataset retains key information about projects, commits, functions, and vulnerabilities, standardized for consistency.

### Columns
The dataset contains the following columns:
- **`project`**: String - The name of the project (e.g., "qemu", "linux-2.6").
- **`commit_id`**: String - Unique identifier of the commit associated with the function.
- **`func`**: String - The source code of the function before fixing (from `func_before` in BigVul).
- **`vul`**: Int8 - Vulnerability label (1 = vulnerable, 0 = not vulnerable).
- **`CVE ID`**: String - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures identifier (e.g., `CVE-2007-1320`), or `NOT_APPLICABLE` if `vul = 0`.
- **`CWE ID`**: String - Common Weakness Enumeration identifier (e.g., `CWE-20`), or `NOT_APPLICABLE` if `vul = 0`.

### Splits
- **Train**: Combined training data from BigVul and PrimeVul.
- **Test**: Combined testing data from BigVul and PrimeVul.
- **Validation**: Combined validation data from BigVul and PrimeVul.


## Preprocessing Steps

The dataset was preprocessed to ensure consistency and quality:

### BigVul Preprocessing
- **Source Columns**: 
  - `project`, `commit_id`, `CVE ID`, `CWE ID`, `func_before`, `vul`.
- **Transformations**:
  - Renamed `func_before` to `func`.
  - Kept `CWE ID` in its original format (`CWE-XXX`).
  - Converted `vul` to `int8`.

### PrimeVul Preprocessing
- **Source Columns**: 
  - `project`, `commit_id`, `cve`, `cwe`, `func`, `target`.
- **Transformations**:
  - Renamed `cve` to `CVE ID`, `cwe` to `CWE ID`, `target` to `vul`.
  - Standardized `CWE ID` by removing brackets from list format (e.g., `["CWE-XXX"]` → `CWE-XXX`), taking the first element if multiple CWEs exist.
  - Converted `vul` from `int64` to `int8`.

### Merging and Final Preprocessing
- **Merging**: Concatenated preprocessed BigVul and PrimeVul data for each split (`train`, `test`, `validation`).
- **Final Steps**:
  - Removed rows with any null values.
  - Removed duplicates based on the `func` column.
  - For rows where `vul = 0`, replaced `CVE ID` and `CWE ID` with `"NOT_APPLICABLE`.


## Dataset Statistics

Below are the analysis results for the final merged dataset:

### Train Split
- **Number of rows**: 239,822
- **Unique CWE IDs (excluding `NOT_APPLICABLE`)**: 127
- **Unique commit IDs**: 7,559
- **Vulnerable functions (`vul = 1`)**: 9,037

### Test Split
- **Number of rows**: 51,390
- **Unique CWE IDs (excluding `NOT_APPLICABLE`)**: 87
- **Unique commit IDs**: 6,032
- **Vulnerable functions (`vul = 1`)**: 1,911


### Validation Split
- **Number of rows**: 51,392
- **Unique CWE IDs (excluding `NOT_APPLICABLE`)**: 91
- **Unique commit IDs**: 6,059
- **Vulnerable functions (`vul = 1`)**: 1,933
