  • Patent number: 11941379
    Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.

  • Patent number: 11829751
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method of automatically capturing source code and associated artifacts for static analysis. A method includes receiving a current state of a project that includes a set of files in a directory to be captured for analysis and a current capture status of individual files of the set of files, determining a plan including a sequence of actions in response to the current state of the project, and executing the sequence of actions to capture each of the set of files. The sequence of actions includes capturing buildable modules in the set of files with a build-capture based on a default build command and a buildless-capture based on module definition files.

  • Patent number: 11568130
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-program product (computer-readable storage medium) embodiments for discovering contextualized placeholder variables in template code. Some embodiments include invoking a render call to a template engine to render an input template and then receiving a message identifying a placeholder variable within the input template in response to invoking the render call. These embodiments may further include generating multiple rendered templates by rendering the input template based at least in part on a unique value and a modified unique value for the placeholder variable. Further still, these embodiments may also include storing the placeholder variable in a security vulnerability data structure in response to detecting a change in context associated with the placeholder variable between the multiple rendered templates.
