ABSTRACT:
A method and system of detecting vulnerabilities in source code. Source code is parsed into an intermediate representation. Models are derived for the code and the models are then analyzed in conjunction with pre-specified rules about the routines to determine if the routine call posses one or more of pre-selected vulnerabilities.
