Abstract

Claims (62)

1. A computer-implemented method, executed by one or more processors, comprising:

receiving a security advisory that include a description of a vulnerability;

accessing a version control system (VCS) used by a third-party library;

determining additional resources related to the vulnerability;

determining a set of code changes performed by project maintainers in the VCS;

identifying one or more fix commits that address the vulnerability;

identifying one or more functions with the vulnerability that have been changed by the one or more fix commits, wherein identification of the one or more functions with the vulnerability includes:

comparing one or more files corresponding to the one or more functions before and after a code change was made, and

identifying individual functions of the one or more functions that included the vulnerability and that have been modified to address the vulnerability;

performing a search for components and component versions that include the one or more functions with the vulnerability;

generating an enriched vulnerability description that includes identifiers of package versions that include:

fixed versions of the one or more functions; and

vulnerable version of the one or more functions; and

modifying project code in a development system to use the fixed versions of the one or more functions.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability; and

excluding from the search the set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, using an artificial intelligence, fix commits related to the vulnerability.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining packages from one or more package registries; and determining whether the packages include individual functions of the one or more functions in a vulnerable form or a fixed form.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the third-party library comprises an open-source library.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein: the security advisory is received from a security database.

7. A server comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a security advisory that include a description of a vulnerability;

accessing a version control system (VCS) used by a third-party library;

determining additional resources related to the vulnerability;

determining a set of code changes performed by project maintainers in the VCS;

identifying one or more fix commits that address the vulnerability;

identifying one or more functions with the vulnerability that have been changed by the one or more fix commits, wherein identification of the one or more functions with the vulnerability includes:

comparing one or more files corresponding to the one or more functions before and after a code change was made, and

identifying individual functions of the one or more functions that included the vulnerability and that have been modified to address the vulnerability;

performing a search for components and component versions that include the one or more functions with the vulnerability;

generating an enriched vulnerability description that includes identifiers of package versions that include:

fixed versions of the one or more functions; and

vulnerable version of the one or more functions; and

modifying project code in a development system to use the fixed versions of the one or more functions.

8. The server of claim 7 , further comprising: determining a set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability; and excluding from the search the set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability.

9. The server of claim 7 , further comprising: identifying, using an artificial intelligence, fix commits related to the vulnerability.

10. The server of claim 7 , further comprising: obtaining packages from one or more package registries; and determining whether the packages include individual functions of the one or more functions in a vulnerable form or a fixed form.

11. The server of claim 7 wherein the third-party library comprises an open-source library.

12. The server of claim 7 , wherein the security advisory is received from a security database.

13. One or more non-transitory computer readable media capable of storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a security advisory that include a description of a vulnerability;

accessing a version control system (VCS) used by a third-party library;

determining additional resources related to the vulnerability;

determining a set of code changes performed by project maintainers in the VCS;

identifying one or more fix commits that address the vulnerability;

identifying one or more functions with the vulnerability that have been changed by the one or more fix commits, wherein identification of the one or more functions with the vulnerability includes:

comparing one or more files corresponding to the one or more functions before and after a code change was made, and

identifying individual functions of the one or more functions that included the vulnerability and that have been modified to address the vulnerability;

performing a search for components and component versions that include the one or more functions with the vulnerability;

generating an enriched vulnerability description that includes identifiers of package versions that include:

fixed versions of the one or more functions; and

vulnerable version of the one or more functions; and

modifying project code in a development system to use the fixed versions of the one or more functions.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , further comprising: determining a set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability; and excluding from the search the set of functions that are not directly related to the vulnerability.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , further comprising: identifying, using an artificial intelligence, fix commits related to the vulnerability.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , further comprising: obtaining packages from one or more package registries; and determining whether the packages include individual functions of the one or more functions in a vulnerable form or a fixed form.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein: the third-party library comprises an open-source library; and the security advisory is received from a security database.
