Early Access — Mondoo Vulnerability Intelligence is currently in preview.
The product does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid.
An attacker can access any functionality that is inadvertently accessible to the source.
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
