Software vulnerabilities are one of the important reasons for network intrusion. It is vital to detect and fix vulnerabilities in a timely manner. Existing vulnerability detection methods usually rely on single code models, which may miss some vulnerabilities. This paper implements a vulnerability detection system by combining source code and assembly code models. First, code slices are extracted from the source code and assembly code. Second, these slices are aligned by the proposed code alignment algorithm. Third, aligned code slices are converted into vector and input into a hyper fusion-based deep learning model. Experiments are carried out to verify the system. The results show that the system presents a stable and convergent detection performance.


SQL injection vulnerabilities have been predominant on database-driven web applications since almost one decade. Exploiting such vulnerabilities enables attackers to gain unauthorized access to the back-end databases by altering the original SQL statements through manipulating user input. Testing web applications for identifying SQL injection vulnerabilities before deployment is essential to get rid of them. However, checking such vulnerabilities by hand is very tedious, difficult, and time-consuming. Web vulnerability static analysis tools are software tools for automatically identifying the root cause of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications source code. In this paper, we test and evaluate three free/open source static analysis tools using eight web applications with numerous known vulnerabilities, primarily for false negative rates. The evaluation results were compared and analysed, and they indicate a need to improve the tools.

In this paper, a hybrid identity fusion model at decision level is proposed for Simultaneous Threat Detection Systems. The hybrid model is comprised of mathematical and statistical data fusion engines; Dempster Shafer, Extended Dempster and Generalized Evidential Processing (GEP). Simultaneous Threat Detection Systems improve threat detection rate by 39%. In terms of efficiency and performance, the comparison of 3 inference engines of the Simultaneous Threat Detection Systems showed that GEP is the better data fusion model. GEP increased precision of threat detection from 56% to 95%. Furthermore, set cover packing was used as a middle tier data fusion tool to discover the reduced size groups of threat data. Set cover provided significant improvement and reduced threat population from 2272 to 295, which helped in minimizing the processing complexity of evidential processing cost and time in determining the combined probability mass of proposed Multiple Simultaneous Threat Detection System. This technique is particularly relevant to on-line and Internet dependent applications including portals.
