Vulnerability Detection for a Single File #1

Open evangelos-bitsikas opened 1 week ago

evangelos-bitsikas commented 1 week ago

I have successfully run the full evaluation code, and it executes without issues. However, I would like to know if there is an automated method to evaluate or identify vulnerabilities in a single file (for example, OpenSSH).

Do I understand correctly that you want to take a single file from OpenSSH and check for bugs in that single file? There's currently no functionality like that. In the tool's output you'll have to manually filter for the right file. Excluding files from the input list is not an option because it will influence the specification inference.
