Vudenc: Vulnerability Detection with Deep Learning on a Natural Codebase for Python - Summary

Abstract

In this extended abstract, we summarize our work on Vudenc published in the journal Information and Software Technology (IST) in 2022 [Wa22]. Vudenc uses deep learning to learn features of vulnerable code from a real-world Python codebase and a network of long-short-term memory cells (LSTM) is then used to detect vulnerabilities in code at a fine-grained level.
