A Ground-Truth Dataset of Real Security Patches

This dataset provides a ground-truth collection of real-world security patches gathered from public GitHub repositories, cross-referenced with CVE records, and enriched with natural language artifacts and metadata. It is intended to support research in areas such as vulnerability detection, security patch understanding, commit classification, and software security best practices.
