# 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**.
