The commercial version supported analysis of PHP and Java code. In order to identify security vulnerabilities that are based on second-order data flows or misplaced security mechanisms, it used abstract syntax trees, control-flow graphs, and context-sensitive taint analysis [7] It could automatically detect 200 different vulnerability types, code quality issues and misconfiguration weaknesses.
A file inclusion vulnerability is a type of web vulnerability that is most commonly found to affect web applications that rely on a scripting run time.This issue is caused when an application builds a path to executable code using an attacker-controlled variable in a way that allows the attacker to control which file is executed at run time.
A directory traversal (or path traversal) attack exploits insufficient security validation or sanitization of user-supplied file names, such that characters representing "traverse to parent directory" are passed through to the operating system's file system API.
PHP A static code analysis solution with many integration options for the automated detection of complex security vulnerabilities. SAST Online: 2022-03-07 (1.1.0) No; proprietary — — Java — — — Kotlin, APK: Check the Android Source code thoroughly to uncover and address potential security concerns and vulnerabilities.
Installing malware or executing malevolent code on a server by injecting server scripting code (such as PHP). Privilege escalation to either superuser permissions on UNIX by exploiting shell injection vulnerabilities in a binary file or to Local System privileges on Microsoft Windows by exploiting a service within Windows.
Zero-day vulnerabilities are often classified as alive—meaning that there is no public knowledge of the vulnerability—and dead—the vulnerability has been disclosed, but not patched. If the software's maintainers are actively searching for vulnerabilities, it is a living vulnerability; such vulnerabilities in unmaintained software are ...
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a dictionary of common names (i.e., CVE Identifiers) for publicly known information security vulnerabilities. CVE's common identifiers make it easier to share data across separate network security databases and tools, and provide a baseline for evaluating the coverage of an organization's security ...
A vulnerability that allowed attackers to execute remote code via PHPUnit was discovered in late 2017. By sending a payload of PHP code to a file that is part of PHPUnit, an attacker could execute PHP code on the webserver. [4]
