# 🔒 Security Verifiers E2: Security Configuration Verification (Public Metadata)

> **⚠️ This is a PUBLIC metadata-only repository.** The full datasets are hosted privately to prevent training contamination. See below for access instructions.

## Overview

E2 is a tool-grounded configuration auditing environment for Kubernetes and Terraform. This repository contains **only the sampling metadata** that describes how the private datasets were constructed.

### Why Private Datasets?

**Training contamination** is a critical concern for benchmark integrity. If datasets leak into public training corpora:
- Models can memorize answers instead of learning to reason
- Evaluation metrics become unreliable
- Research reproducibility suffers
- True capabilities become obscured

By keeping evaluation datasets private with gated access, we:
- ✅ Preserve benchmark validity over time
- ✅ Enable fair model comparisons
- ✅ Maintain research integrity
- ✅ Allow controlled access for legitimate research

### Dataset Composition

The private E2 datasets include:

#### Kubernetes Configurations
- **Source**: Real-world K8s manifests from popular open-source projects
- **Scans**: KubeLinter, Semgrep, OPA/Rego policies
- **Violations**: Security misconfigurations, best practice violations
- **Severity**: Categorized (high/medium/low) based on tool outputs

#### Terraform Configurations
- **Source**: Infrastructure-as-code from real projects
- **Scans**: Semgrep, OPA/Rego policies, custom rules
- **Violations**: Security risks, compliance issues
- **Severity**: Weighted scoring for reward computation

### What's in This Repository?

This public repository contains:

1. **Sampling Metadata** (`sampling-*.json`):
   - Source repository information
   - File selection criteria
   - Scan configurations
   - Label distributions
   - Reproducibility parameters

2. **Tools Versions** (`tools-versions.json`):
   - KubeLinter version (pinned)
   - Semgrep version (pinned)
   - OPA version (pinned)
   - Ensures reproducible scanning

3. **This README**: Instructions for requesting access

### Reward Components

E2 uses tool-grounded reward functions:
- **Detection Precision/Recall/F1**: Against ground-truth violations
- **Severity Weighting**: Higher reward for catching critical issues
- **Patch Delta**: Reward for proposed fixes that eliminate violations
- **Re-scan Verification**: Patches must pass tool validation

**Multi-turn performance**: Models achieve ~0.93 reward with tool calling vs ~0.62 without tools.

### Requesting Access

🔑 **To access the full private datasets:**

1. **Open an access request issue**: [Security Verifiers Issues](https://github.com/intertwine/security-verifiers/issues)
2. **Use the title**: "Dataset Access Request: E2"
3. **Include**:
   - Your name and affiliation
   - Research purpose / use case
   - HuggingFace username
   - Commitment to not redistribute or publish the raw data

**Approval criteria:**
- Legitimate research or educational use
- Understanding of contamination concerns
- Agreement to usage terms

We typically respond within 2-3 business days.
