摘要:
Identifying at least one custom parameter in a request uniform resource locator (URL). The method can include identifying at least a first portion of source code of a Web application that typically consumes the custom parameter provided in the request URL and, via a processor, instrumenting the Web application at the first portion of the source code. The Web application can receive the request URL and the Web application can be executed with the instrumented source code. At least one run-time value consumed by the second portion of the source code can be identified, and the run-time value can be compared to the request URL to determine whether the run-time value intersects with the request URL. Responsive to determining that the run-time value intersects with the request URL, the run-time value can be identified as the custom parameter. A custom parameter rule can be generated based on the comparison.

摘要:
Determining the vulnerability of computer software applications to attacks by identifying a defense-related variable within a computer software application that is assigned results of a defense operation defending against a predefined type of attack, identifying a control-flow predicate dominating a security-sensitive operation within the application, identifying a data-flow dependent variable in the application that is data-flow dependent on the defense-related variable, determining whether the control-flow predicate uses the data-flow dependent variable to make a branching decision and whether a control-flow path leading to the security-sensitive operation is taken only if the data-flow dependent variable is compared against a value of a predefined type, determining that the security-sensitive operation is safe from the attack if both control-flow conditions are true, and determining that the application is safe from the attack if all security-sensitive operations in the application are determined to be safe from the attack.

摘要:
Access-control and information-flow integrity policies are enforced in a computing system by detecting security-sensitive sinks in software code for an application running on the computing system and retrieving an access-control policy from a database accessible to the computing system. The access-control policy maps a set of access permissions within the computing system to each one of a plurality of principals. For each detected security-sensitive sink, all principals that influence that security-sensitive sink are detected and an overall access permission is assigned to each security-sensitive sink by taking the intersection of the access permission sets for all influencing principals of that security-sensitive sink. If this permission set is inadequate, an integrity violation is reported. In addition, permission labels are assigned to each value of variables used in the security-sensitive sinks. Each permission label is a set of permissions.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to injection context based static analysis of computer software applications. Embodiments of the invention may include selecting a sink within a computer software application, tracing a character output stream leading to the sink within the computer software application, determining an injection context of the character output stream at the sink, where the injection context is predefined in association with a state of the character output stream at the sink, identifying any actions that have been predefined in association with the identified injection context, and providing a report of the actions.

Systems, methods are program products for simulating black box test results using information obtained from white box testing, including analyzing computer software (e.g., an application) to identify a potential vulnerability within the computer software application and a plurality of milestones associated with the potential vulnerability, where each of the milestones indicates a location within the computer software application, tracing a path from a first one of the milestones to an entry point into the computer software application, identifying an input to the entry point that would result in a control flow from the entry point and through each of the milestones, describing the potential vulnerability in a description indicating the entry point and the input, and presenting the description via a computer-controlled output medium.
