Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-program product (computer-readable storage medium) embodiments for discovering contextualized placeholder variables in template code. Some embodiments include invoking a render call to a template engine to render an input template and then receiving a message identifying a placeholder variable within the input template in response to invoking the render call. These embodiments may further include generating multiple rendered templates by rendering the input template based at least in part on a unique value and a modified unique value for the placeholder variable. Further still, these embodiments may also include storing the placeholder variable in a security vulnerability data structure in response to detecting a change in context associated with the placeholder variable between the multiple rendered templates.

Discovering contextualized placeholder variables in template code

A method is provided to remediate defects in first computer program code that can be used to configure a computer to produce code for use by the same or a different computer configured using second computer program code to use the produced code to produce output information, the method comprising: configuring a computer to perform static analysis of the first program to produce an information structure in a non-transitory computer readable storage device that associates a respective code statement of the first program code with a respective context, wherein the context associates a parser state with a potential defect in the produced code; identify a defect in the first computer program code that is associated with the respective code statement; and determining a remediation for the identified defect.
