Vulnerability-Analyst-Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct

Introduction

This model is a fine-tuned version of unsloth/qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct-unsloth-bnb-4bit. It has been trained using TRL.

This model is fine-tuned for detecting vulnerabilities in code with the Chain-of-Thought method.

Dataset Used: Mackerel2/cybernative_code_vulnerability_cot

Use Cases

• Use for code vulnerability analysis
• Use for general code related question answering (use without given chat template)

Use model with a chat template for Chain-of-Thought response

# Load tokenizer (trust remote code for Qwen models)

# Apply LoRA weights

# (Optional) Merge LoRA adapters for faster inference

# Prompt construction

    "You are an expert coder with a strong code vulnerability detection and reasoning ability. "
    "You first think through the reasoning process step-by-step in your mind and then provide the user with the answer."
)

user_prompt = (
    "Below is a question that describes a coding related problem. Write a response that appropriately answers the question. "
    "Show your reasoning in <think> </think> tags. And return the final response in <answer> </answer> tags.\n"
    "###Question###:\n{question}\n"
    "###Response###:\n<think>"
)

# Example question
question = """Find vulnerabilities in the following PHP code:
```php
<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', $user, $pass);
$username = $_GET['username'];
$password = $_GET['password'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'";
foreach ($db->query($sql) as $row) {
    print_r($row);

# Apply tokenizer's chat template

    [
        {"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
        {"role": "user", "content": user_prompt.format(question=question)},

# Run inference using transformers pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device_map="auto")
output = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=1024, return_full_text=False)[0]["generated_text"]

print("<think>\n" + output)

Training procedure

This model was trained with SFT Trainer of trl library. I have Leveraged Unsloth’s FastLanguageModel with 4-bit quantization and smart gradient checkpointing to fit within consumer GPUs. I designed prompts where reasoning is enclosed in <think>...</think> and final answers in <answer>...</answer>. This helps guide the model to reason step-by-step before answering. I have used SFTTrainer from HuggingFace TRL with LoRA + 8bit optimizer + cosine LR scheduling. Evaluation is performed every 50 steps. I have used PEFT/LoRA for efficient fine-tuning.
