JavaVFC: Java Vulnerability Fixing Commits from Open-source Software
<|reference_start|>JavaVFC: Java Vulnerability Fixing Commits from Open-source Software: We present a comprehensive dataset of Java vulnerability-fixing commits (VFCs) to advance research in Java vulnerability analysis. Our dataset, derived from thousands of open-source Java projects on GitHub, comprises two variants: JavaVFC and JavaVFC-extended. The dataset was constructed through a rigorous process involving heuristic rules and multiple rounds of manual labeling. We initially used keywords to filter candidate VFCs based on commit messages, then refined this keyword set through iterative manual labeling. The final labeling round achieved a precision score of 0.7 among three annotators. We applied the refined keyword set to 34,321 open-source Java repositories with over 50 GitHub stars, resulting in JavaVFC with 784 manually verified VFCs and JavaVFC-extended with 16,837 automatically identified VFCs. Both variants are presented in a standardized JSONL format for easy access and analysis. This dataset supports various research endeavors, including VFC identification, fine-grained vulnerability detection, and automated vulnerability repair. The JavaVFC and JavaVFC-extended are publicly available at https://zenodo.org/records/13731781.<|reference_end|>
