  • System and method for information flow analysis of application code
    Patent number: 11783054
    Abstract: A method and system for security flow analysis of application code comprising: detecting data flows in a code base; and extracting an information flow, comprising determining a primary data flow by identifying a data flow that contains exposed data, and extending the primary data flow through descriptor data flows, wherein the descriptor data flows are associated with the set of data tracked by the primary data flow; wherein the information flow is a high level flow description that exposes the application code vulnerabilities based on the primary data flow and all associated descriptor data flows.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: ShiftLeft Inc
    Inventors: Fabian Yamaguchi, Markus Lottmann, Niko Schmidt, Vlad A Ionescu, Chetan Conikee
