Abstract

A system configured for identifying unpermitted data in source code receives a search query comprising particular keywords related to the unpermitted data. The system labels the source code with vulnerability factors and categories of those vulnerability factors, where the vulnerability factors indicate a security vulnerability and the categories provide information about the security vulnerability of the source code. The system performs a static analysis on the source code to identify instances of the particular keyword in a data flow and control flow of the source code. The system performs a vulnerability analysis on the source code to determine a vulnerability level of the source code, in which factor weights and category weights for each code portion of the source code are determined. The system calculates a weighted sum of the factor weights and category weights for each code portion, thereby detecting instances of unpermitted data in source code.
