| # CVE-CWE Software Weakness Mapping Dataset |
|
|
| ## Dataset description |
|
|
| This dataset maps Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entries in the CWE-699 Software category. It combines CVE descriptions with CWE descriptions and parent-category information for security research and vulnerability classification. |
|
|
| ## Dataset structure |
|
|
| The dataset is provided as `Global_Dataset.csv`. Its main fields include: |
|
|
| - `CVE-ID`: CVE identifier. |
| - `CVE-DESCRIPTION`: Description of the vulnerability. |
| - `CWE-ID`: Associated CWE identifier. |
| - `CWE-DESCRIPTION`: Description of the associated weakness. |
| - `PARENTS`: Parent CWE category or categories. |
| - `YEAR`: Year extracted from the CVE identifier. |
| - `IS-IN-CWE699`: Whether the CWE belongs to the CWE-699 Software category. |
|
|
| ## Data sources |
|
|
| - CVE-to-CWE mappings and vulnerability descriptions are sourced from the `zefang-liu/cve-and-cwe-mapping-dataset` dataset on Hugging Face. |
| - CWE descriptions and hierarchy information are collected from the CWE software-category data scraped by this project. |
|
|
| The dataset is generated by `dataset/generate_dataset.ipynb`. |
|
|
| ## Intended uses |
|
|
| This dataset is intended for research and experimentation involving: |
|
|
| - CVE-to-CWE classification. |
| - Vulnerability search and retrieval. |
| - Security text embedding and similarity experiments. |
| - Analysis of software weakness categories. |
|
|
| ## Limitations |
|
|
| The mappings reflect the upstream data sources and may contain incomplete, ambiguous, or changing vulnerability information. The dataset should not be treated as a definitive security assessment or as a replacement for reviewing the original NVD and CWE records. |
|
|
| ## License and attribution |
|
|
| Please review and follow the licenses and attribution requirements of the upstream CVE and CWE sources before redistributing or using this dataset. |
