Abstract
Systems for automatic correction of security downgraders include a security analysis module configured to perform a security analysis that disregards existing user-provided downgraders to detect flows that are vulnerable; and an enhancer module configured to locate candidate downgraders on the flows, to determine whether each of the candidate downgraders protects against all vulnerabilities associated with each downgrader's respective flow, and to transform candidate downgraders that do not protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities such that the transformed downgraders do protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities.
