    Abstract: A runtime analysis framework (RTA) stores a hierarchical list of input tags and a hierarchical list of output tags. The RTA stores defined vulnerabilities that include associated input tags and output tags. During runtime the software application may receive a request from a user system. The RTA assigns an input tag from the hierarchical list of input tags to an object associated with the request and assigns an output tag from the hierarchical list of output tags to a method generating a response to the request. The RTA identifies one of the defined vulnerabilities as a potential vulnerability if the assigned output tag and output tag associated the potential vulnerability are in a same subtree of the hierarchical list of output tags and the assigned input tag and the input tag associated with the potential vulnerability are in a same subtree of the hierarchical list of input tags.

    Abstract: During runtime of the software application, the runtime analysis framework may assign input tags to objects associated with the user requests. The input tags may identify the requests as potentially malicious and carry a security risk. The RTA framework then may assign sanitization tags to the objects identifying security checks performed on the objects during runtime. The RTA framework identifies output responses to the user requests that include the objects and compares the input tags assigned to the objects with any sanitization tags assigned to the objects. The RTA framework may identify the software application as susceptible to a security vulnerability when the input tags for the objects do not include corresponding sanitization tags.
