Abstract

Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a processor, source code for a software program written in a first programming language. The received source code is converted into abstracted source code that is in a generic format that is different than a format of the first programming language. The abstracted source code is compared to known source code patterns. Based on determining that at least a subset of the abstracted source code matches a pattern in the known source code patterns, sending an alert to the user indicating that the received source code matches the pattern.
