Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting vulnerabilities in software in real time. In some aspects, the system receives a training dataset, including first source code, first runtime data flow, a set of sample vulnerable libraries, and a set of sample replacement software libraries. Using the training dataset, the system trains a vulnerability detection model. The system receives second source code being tested in a development environment and collects the second source code and second runtime data flow. The system processes the second source code and second runtime data flow using the vulnerability detection model to identify novel vulnerable software libraries and/or known vulnerable software libraries. The system generates suggestions to replace the known and/or novel vulnerable software libraries. In response to detecting a user choosing a first replacement library in place of a first vulnerable library, the system replaces the first vulnerable library with the first replacement library.

Abstract: A tokenization system has a proxy server that is configured to receive a message having a token and a template identifier. The proxy server is configured to store a plurality of templates for indicating how messages are to be processed. When the message with a token is received, the proxy server is configured to decrypt the message and retrieve, from memory, a template identified by the template identifier. The template indicates a location of the token within the message, and the proxy server uses the template to identify the token within the message. The proxy server then replaces the token within the message with data represented by the token and encrypts the message prior to transmitting it to a destination. In some embodiments, the proxy server also processes card-present payment requests based on the plurality of templates.

The system may then generate, for display, the first image and the second image and may receive a selection of the first image. Based on the selection of the first image, the system may grant the authentication request.
