Abstract
Computer program products and apparatus are disclosed. Using a static analysis, a software program is analyzed to determine whether the software program accesses a secure resource for a computer system without verification that the secure resource can be accessed by the software program. In response to an access by the software program to the secure resource without verification that the secure resource can be accessed by the software program, a result is output indicative of the analyzing. An apparatus is disclosed that includes a user interface providing a security report to a user, the security report indicating a result of an analysis of whether or not a software program accesses a secure resource for a computer system without verification that the secure resource can be accessed by the software program.
