Abstract
A method for prioritizing among vulnerabilities in a software code for a user by using a server is presented. The method comprises receiving a request, a software identification associated to the software code, and a user identification associated to the user from a user computer, fetching domain specific knowledge (DSK) data from a DSK database by using the software identification, wherein the DSK database comprises non-user defined features related to the vulnerabilities, fetching user specific knowledge (USK) data from a USK database by using the user identification, wherein the USK database comprises user defined features related to the vulnerabilities, determining utility estimations for the vulnerabilities, respectively, by comparing the vulnerabilities with the DSK data and comparing the vulnerabilities with the USK data, and transferring the utility estimations from the server to the user computer such that a prioritized list of vulnerabilities can be achieved.
