Abstract: Detecting security vulnerabilities in the source code of software systems is one of the most significant challenges in the field of information security. In this context, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) defines Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools as those capable of statically analyzing the source code, without executing it, to identify security vulnerabilities, bugs, and code smells during the coding phase, when it is relatively inexpensive to detect and resolve security issues. However, most wellknown SAST tools are commercial and web-based, requiring the upload of the source code to a “trusted” remote server. In this paper, our goal is to investigate the viability of using open-source standalone SAST tools for detecting security vulnerabilities in C/C++ projects. To achieve our goal, we conduct an empirical study in which we examine 30 large and popular C/C++ projects using two different state-of-the-art opensource and standalone SAST tools. The resu lts demonstrate the potential of using open-source standalone SAST tools as a means to evaluate the security risks of a software product without manually reviewing all the warnings. (More)
