Abstract
A method for testing a software application program () includes storing in a vulnerability database records of security vulnerabilities identified in execution of the program. Each record includes a location field containing a respective signature indicative of a location in the execution at which a corresponding security vulnerability was detected and a metadata field indicative of a respective control flow path on which the corresponding security vulnerability occurred. Upon detecting a further security vulnerability at a given location in a subsequent execution of the program, a new signature of the given location is computed and compared to the location field of the records in the database. When no record is found to match the new signature, an indication is output to a developer of the program of an occurrence of a new security vulnerability.
