Abstract: Methods and systems are described for detecting and reporting a vulnerability fix in a code repository. A commit obtained from the code repository is preprocessed to generate file-level token sequences each representing a file-level code change for respective files. Respective file-level code change embedding vectors are generated by inputting each file-level token sequence into a transformer model, each file-level code change embedding vector being a vector representation of the file-level code change for the respective file. The file-level code change embedding vectors are combined into a commit-level code change embedding vector that represents all code changes contained in the commit. A predicted commit-level vulnerability fix score is generated by inputting the commit-level code change embedding vector into a classifier. A vulnerability fix report is outputted, containing an identification of the commit and the predicted commit-level vulnerability fix score.
