Abstract

We release JavaVulBench, a benchmark dataset and evaluation harness for Java vulnerability detection. The dataset contains 30,600 Java methods spanning 1,740 CVEs and 700+ projects, labelled at both method and line granularity, with per-CVE publication dates and five realistic split strategies: random, project-disjoint, temporal, deduplicated, and unseen CWE-family. The harness provides a single LlmPrediction schema across three backend families (encoder classifiers, local generative models served by Ollama, and API-served LLMs routed through OpenRouter) so that twelve reference detectors CodeBERT, GraphCodeBERT, UniXcoder, DeepSeek-Coder-1.3B, and eight API/open-weight LLMs (GPT-4o, GPT-4.1-mini, Claude Sonnet 4, DeepSeek-v3, DeepSeek-Coderv2, Qwen-2.5-Coder-14B/7B, CodeLlama-13B) are evaluated under identical conditions from a single command. A pre-training contamination audit is shipped alongside every model so users can separate genuinely unseen test CVEs from potentially memorised ones. Data, code, and fine-tuned checkpoints are archived on Zenodo [31] and short demonstration video is available on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMTX_hqkuoM)[1] .
