Abstract: Statically analyzing a computer software application can include identifying a plurality of objects within the instructions of a computer software application, where the objects in the plurality of objects are of the same object type, and preparing a modified version of the instructions in which any of the objects in the plurality of objects determined to be extraneous is omitted.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Testing a Web-based application for security vulnerabilities. At least one client request including a payload having a unique identifier can be communicated to the Web-based application. Response HTML and an associated Document Object Model (DOM) object can be received from the Web-based application. Content corresponding to the payload can be identified in the DOM object via the unique identifier. A section of the DOM object including the payload can be identified as un-trusted.

Abstract: Preparing a computer software application for static analysis by identifying a control flow within a model portion of a computer software application having a model-view-controller architecture, where the control flow passes a value to a controller portion of the computer software application, analyzing a declarative specification of the controller portion of the computer software application to identify a view to which the controller portion passes control based on the value, and synthesizing a method within the computer software application, where the method calls the view.

Abstract: Detecting security vulnerabilities in web applications by interacting with a web application at a computer server during its execution at the computer server, identifying client-side instructions provided by the web application responsive to an interaction with the web application, where the client-side instructions are configured to be implemented by a client computer that receives the client-side instructions from the computer server, evaluating the identified client-side instructions, and identifying a security vulnerability associated with the client-side instructions.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes, using a static analysis, analyzing a software program to determine a number of paths from sources accepting information to sinks using that information or a modified version of that information and to determine multiple paths from the number of paths. The determined multiple paths have a same transition from an application portion of the software program to a library portion of the software program and require a same downgrading action to address a vulnerability associated with source-sink pairs in the multiple paths. The analyzing includes determining the multiple paths using a path-sensitive analysis. The method includes, for the determined multiple paths, grouping the determined multiple paths into a single representative indication of the determined multiple paths. The method includes outputting the single representative indication. Computer program products and apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Identifying a security vulnerability in a computer software application by identifying at least one source in a computer software application, identifying at least one sink in the computer software application, identifying at least one input to any of the sinks, determining whether the input derives its value directly or indirectly from any of the sources, determining a set of possible values for the input, and identifying a security vulnerability where the set of possible values for the input does not match a predefined specification of legal values associated with the sink input.
