Abstract
A system or a method for analyzing a software project for vulnerabilities. The system extracts scopes of source code, each of which is a source code block that contains a definition of an entity. The system also receives a vulnerability report relating to the source code. The vulnerability report identifies a vulnerability at a line of the source code. The system identifies a subset of the scopes of source code that contains the line of source code where the vulnerability is identified. The system identifies, based on smatch values, a minimum scope among the subset of the scopes that contains the line of source code where the vulnerability is identified, and generates a scoped vulnerability report recording the minimum scope and the vulnerability.
