Enhancing Software Vulnerability Detection Using Code Property Graphs and Convolutional Neural Networks

2025-03-23 · Amanpreet Singh Saimbhi

The increasing complexity of modern software systems has led to a rise in vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit. Traditional methods of vulnerability detection, such as static and dynamic analysis, have limitations in scalability and automation. This paper proposes a novel approach to detecting software vulnerabilities using a combination of code property graphs and machine learning techniques. By leveraging code property graphs, which integrate abstract syntax trees, control flow graphs, and program dependency graphs, we achieve a detailed representation of software code that enhances the accuracy and granularity of vulnerability detection. We introduce various neural network models, including convolutional neural networks adapted for graph data, to process these representations. Our approach provides a scalable and automated solution for vulnerability detection, addressing the shortcomings of existing methods. We also present a newly generated dataset labeled with function-level vulnerability types sourced from open-source repositories. Our contributions include a methodology for transforming software code into code property graphs, the implementation of a convolutional neural network model for graph data, and the creation of a comprehensive dataset for training and evaluation. This work lays the foundation for more effective and efficient vulnerability detection in complex software systems.
