This repository contains the artifact of paper "How Effective are Neural Networks for Fixing Security Vulnerabilities?" published in ISSTA 2023 by Yi Wu, Nan Jiang, Hung Viet Pham, Thibaud Lutellier, Jordan Davis, Lin Tan, Petr Babkin, and Sameena Shah.
Please modifying the following paths in scripts/util.py to your own path.
VUL4J_DIR = "/path/to/Vul4J_projects/" # the absolute path to the folder that will contain all the Vul4J projects
VJBENCH_DIR = "/path/to/VJBench_projects/" # the absolute path to the folder that will contain all the VJBench projectsTo reproduce the results for Vul4J, please refer to the Vul4J repository for how to set up.
A script to help checkout Vul4J vulnerabilities is available at ./scripts/VUL4J/vul4j_projects.py. These 35 Vul4J vulnerabilities are used in our study: VUL4J-1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 30, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, 47, 50, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 64, 65, 66, 73, 74.
VJBench consists of 42 reproducible vulnerabilities, which are listed in VJBench_dataset.csv. More details are provided in VJBench_data.json including the compile and test commands for reproducing each vulnerability. The first 15 vulnerabilities listed in VJBench_dataset.csv have single hunk fixes, and thus are used in our study: Netty-1, Netty-2, Jenkins-1, Jenkins-2, Jenkins-3, Jinjava-1, Halo-1, Retrofit-1, Quartz-1, Flow-1, Flow-2, BC-Java-1, Json-sanitizer-1, Ratpack-1, Pulsar-1.

- Java 8
- Gradle 3.1
- git
(We are building a docker image for VJBench. It will be coming out soon.)
git clone https://github.com/lin-tan/llm-vul.git
cd llm-vulFor example, if we want to checkout Halo-1
python3 ./scripts/build_vjbench.py checkout Halo-1python3 ./scripts/build_vjbench.py compile Halo-1python3 ./scripts/build_vjbench.py test Halo-1The dataset VJBench-trans, consists of three transformed versions for each of the 50 single-hunk vulnerabilities (15 from VJBench and 35 from Vul4J). The transformed vulnerabilities are obtained by applying : (1) Identifier renaming only (2) Code structure change only (3) Both identifier renaming and code structure change at the same time. In total, there are 3x50 = 150 transformed vulnerabilities in VJBench-trans. The transformed and original vulnerabilities and are available in the folder VJBench-trans.
For each vulnerability, we provide seven files with the following suffixes:
- original_method.java: the original buggy method.
- rename_only.java: the transformed buggy method with identifier renaming only.
- code_structure_change_only.java: the transformed buggy method with code structure change only.
- full_transformation.java: the transformed buggy method with both identifier renaming and code structure change.
- identifier_rename_dict.json: the identifier renaming mapping dictionary.
- patch_for_code_structure_change_only.java: the fixed transformed buggy method with code structure change only
- buggyline_location.json: the buggy line location for the buggy method [buggy_line_start, buggy_line_end]
Patches generated by the models and the validation results are under folder ./Model_patches/model_output/.
For validation results, "test_success" means the patch passes the test cases, "compile_success" means that the patch fails to pass the test cases but is compilable, "uncompilable" means the patch is uncompilable, and "test_timeout" is the patch validtion exceeds the time limit.

The fine-tuned LLMs can be downloaded from here https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7559244, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7559277.
The fine-tuned LLMs we use in our work are:
- plbart-large-finetuned
- codet5-large-finetuned
- codegen-6B-finetuned
- incoder-6B-finetuned
The inputs to the models are under folder ./Model_patches/model_input/.
We utilize a java parser Jasper to parse the buggy code to generate input. First, we need to install jasper.
cd jasper
javac -cp ".:lib/*" -d target src/main/java/clm/jasper/*.java src/main/java/clm/codet5/*.java src/main/java/clm/codegen/*.java src/main/java/clm/plbart/*.java src/main/java/clm/incoder/*.java src/main/java/clm/finetuning/*.javaNext, for example, we will run fine-tuned InCoder.
