Abstract

Vulnerability reports play a pivotal role in cybersecurity, and the ever-growing number of vulnerabilities challenges the efficiency and accuracy of vulnerability classification. To alleviate issues with deep learning models in vulnerability classification, which often fail to focus on significant features and are prone to overfitting, this study introduced a novel vulnerability classification approach based on a double attention mechanism and improved adversarial training. Firstly, this paper proposed the TextCNN-DA model, which augments the conventional TextCNN with spatial and channel attention mechanisms to enhance focus on pertinent features. Further, this paper introduced the SWV-FGM algorithm for adversarial training to increase the robustness and generalization of the model. Comparative analysis with other baseline algorithms on a vulnerability dataset, and specific performance evaluation across different vulnerability types, show that our method outperforms in several key metrics such as Accuracy and Macro-F1, effectively advancing vulnerability classification tasks.
