Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems for characterizing vulnerabilities of an application source code are disclosed. Steps for characterizing vulnerabilities include traversing a representation of the application source code, generating a signature of a potential vulnerability of the application source code, and determining characteristics of the potential vulnerability based on a correlation between the generated signature of the potential vulnerability and previously stored signatures of potential vulnerabilities.
