Thank you for the great work. Is there a corresponding paper on the implemented basics, i.e. analysis lattice, transfer functions, soundness, that can be cited?

Progpilot uses a basic "taint analysis" based on "control flow graph" / "data flow". I guess it exists a lot of papers on this subject, but Progpilot was not based on a specific one.
