Abstract

Background: Static analysis security testing (SAST) tools may be evaluated using synthetic micro benchmarks and benchmarks based on real-world software. Aims: The aim of this study is to address the limitations of the existing SAST tool benchmarks: lack of vulnerability realism, uncertain ground truth, and large amount of findings not related to analyzed vulnerability. Method: We propose Delta-Bench - a novel approach for the automatic construction of benchmarks for SAST tools based on differencing vulnerable and fixed versions in Free and Open Source (FOSS) repositories. To test our approach, we used 7 state of the art SAST tools against 70 revisions of four major versions of Apache Tomcat spanning 62 distinct Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) fixes and vulnerable files totalling over 100K lines of code as the source of ground truth vulnerabilities. Results: Our experiment allows us to draw interesting conclusions (e.g., tools perform differently due to the selected benchmark). Conclusions: Delta-Bench allows SAST tools to be automatically evaluated on the real-world historical vulnerabilities using only the findings that a tool produced for the analysed vulnerability.
Delta-Bench:静态分析安全测试工具的差异基准
背景:静态分析安全测试(SAST)工具可以使用基于真实软件的合成微基准和基准进行评估。目的:本研究的目的是解决现有SAST工具基准的局限性:缺乏漏洞现实性,不确定的基础真相,以及大量与分析漏洞无关的发现。方法:我们提出Delta-Bench——一种基于自由和开源(FOSS)存储库中不同的易受攻击和固定版本自动构建SAST工具基准的新方法。为了测试我们的方法,我们使用了7个最先进的SAST工具,针对Apache Tomcat的四个主要版本的70个版本,跨越62个不同的常见漏洞和暴露(CVE)修复和易受攻击的文件,总共超过10万行代码作为真实漏洞的来源。结果:我们的实验使我们能够得出有趣的结论(例如,由于选择的基准,工具的性能不同)。结论:Delta-Bench允许SAST工具仅使用工具对分析的漏洞产生的发现来自动评估真实世界的历史漏洞。
