[Inżynieria oprogramowania] Autorzy: Yu Nong, Yao Du, Tianxiang Xu i 1 więcej
Learning- and LLM-based software vulnerability analysis is only as trustworthy as the data it is trained and evaluated on, yet that data is rarely examined as a first-class object. We investigate the data behind vulnerability analysis through a dataset-centric taxonomy that separates what an artifact is (code, metadata, patches, tests/PoCs, reasoning, traces), how good it is (realism, label evidence, scale, diversity, leakage, availability), and what it is used for. From a systematically assembled corpus of 1522 papers covering 2016-2026 plus foundational earlier work we deep-code a tiered set of 111 anchor papers, backing every affirmative rubric-graded value with a verbatim span, and we report, per attribute, both how much it has been studied and how well datasets achieve it. The results trace an evidence ladder: executable artifacts are the only major type where 15 of the 24 datasets…
