Abstract: Software vulnerability detection is one of the key tasks in the field of software security. Detecting vulnerability in the source code in advance can effectively prevent malicious attacks. Traditional vulnerability detection methods are often ineffective and inefficient when dealing with large amounts of source code. In this paper, we present the BBVD approach, which treats high-level programming languages as another natural language and uses BERT-based models in the natural language processing domain to automate vulnerability detection. Our experimental results on both SARD and Big-Vul datasets demonstrate the good performance of the proposed BBVD in detecting software vulnerability.

Keywords: Vulnerability detection; BERT; software security
