Welcome to the MiniSec store!

Welcome to the miniapp dataset shop! A ‘‘store’’ affiliated with the MiniSec Community that aims to facilitate and advocate the miniapp security research.

What is Miniapp? See here for introduction. Chinese only right now, but English version on the way!

I am Yuqing, the owner of this little family-own grocery store! We host by far the largest dataset in the field of super app and miniapp security, totaling over 4 millions of miniapps!

This little store does not ‘‘sell’’ the products, but ‘‘share’’ the products — if you are researchers who are curious or interested in the miniapp security and other related field of study, you are welcomed to submit requests of dataset hosted on this website. All you need is to clarify your affiliation, so we can validate your identity and ensure that the dataset is not misused. Please check our service catalogs and release policy below:

1. Service catalog

We proudly provide:

• Dataset for Cross-miniapp Request Forgery Vulnerability [CCS22]
• Dataset for Miniapps with AppSecret Leakage [CCS23] (This requires additional consent and agreement, contact me for details)
• Evasive miniapp malware [NDSS25]
• Randomly-selected miniapp samples to facilitate your preliminary research [SIGMETRICS21]
• Analysis tools for CMRF vulnerability discovery, AppSecret leakage detection, malware analysis, taint analysis. Contact me for details
• Plus other made-to-order dataset

Plus, the meta data of the miniapps if applicable. They are attached to the dataset, as our ways to thank your interest in miniapp security!
