Detecting source code vulnerabilities traditionally requires manually defined rules and features that are costly and perform weakly in practice.

Undetected code vulnerabilities can be exploited, and manual feature engineering does not scale.

A kernel-based Extreme Learning Machine (KELM) approach that automatically extracts vulnerability features while avoiding the heavy iterative training cost of Bi-LSTM, using non-iterative training for fast convergence.
