Differential Alert Analysis

This repository contains the Differential Alert Analysis (DAA) source code. DAA is a Python library developed to find fixed vulnerabilities using the output of SAST tools.

Introduction  •  Installation  •  License  •  Cite

Introduction

DAA is a language-agnostic algorithm that uses the outputs of lightweight and imprecise off-the-shelf static analysis security tools (SAST) to discover resolved vulnerabilities in software projects without relying on an announcement. The key insight driving DAA is that when a fix is introduced, it will eliminate a SAST alert present in the prior version.

Installation

Clone the DAA repository and pip install from the clone. We recommend creating a virtual environment to install DAA.

git clone [email protected]:s3c2/daa.git
cd daa

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install .

Use DAA as a library:

from daa import daa_hierarchy
import pandas as pd

if __name__ == '__main__':
    
    # SET the alerts generated from your SAST tool
    previous_alerts = pd.read_csv("PATH_TO_PREVIOUS_ALERTS.csv")
    current_alerts = pd.read_csv("PATH_TO_CURRENT_ALERTS.csv")
    
    # Run DAA on the alerts
    daa_results = daa_hierarchy.DAA(previous_alerts, current_alerts)
