  • Distributed system for discovery of vulnerabilities in applications including detecting and/or filtering out vulnerability duplicates
    Patent number: 10140455
    Abstract: A vulnerability report evaluation system comprises a preprocessor that takes as its input a data record representing a vulnerability report and outputs a search record. The vulnerability report evaluation system further comprises a search engine and a searchable corpus comprising records of vulnerabilities, wherein the search engine is configured to use the outputted search record to search the corpus. The vulnerability report evaluation system can flag search result hits resulting from the searched search record as an indication that the submitted vulnerability report is a duplicate of an earlier vulnerability report or as a flag to trigger manual review, while providing efficient processing of vulnerability report data records.
