An Improved Software Source Code Vulnerability Detection Method: Combination of Multi-Feature Screening and Integrated Sampling Model by Xin He, Asiya, Daoqi Han, Shuncheng Zhou, Xueliang Fu, Honghui Li

“…To address these issues, this paper introduces a multi-feature screening and integrated sampling model (MFISM) to enhance vulnerability detection efficiency and accuracy. The key innovations include (i) utilizing abstract syntax tree (AST) representation of source code to extract potential vulnerability-related features through multiple feature screening techniques; (ii) conducting analysis of variance (ANOVA) and evaluating feature selection techniques to identify representative and discriminative features; (iii) addressing class imbalance by applying an integrated over-sampling strategy to create synthetic samples from vulnerable code to expand the minority class sample size; (iv) employing outlier detection technology to filter out abnormal synthetic samples, ensuring high-quality synthesized samples. …”
