To deal with the potential XSS vulnerabilities in the source code of the power communication network, an XSS vulnerability detection method combining the static analysis method with the dynamic testing method is proposed. The static analysis method aims to analyze the structure and content of the source code. We construct a set of feature expressions to match malignant content and set a "variable conversion" method to analyze the data flow of the code that implements interactive functions. The static analysis method explores the vulnerabilities existing in the source code structure and code content. Dynamic testing aims to simulate network attacks to reflect whether there are vulnerabilities in web pages. We construct many attack vectors and implemented the test in the Selenium tool. Due to the combination of the two analysis methods, XSS vulnerability discovery research could be conducted from two aspects: "white-box testing" and "black-box testing". Tests show that this method can effectively detect XSS vulnerabilities in the source code of the power communication network.

Vulnerable web applications have been the primary method used by the attackers to spread their malware to a large number of victims. Such attacks commonly make use of malicious links to remotely execute a rather advanced malicious code. The attackers often deploy malwares that utilizes unknown vulnerabilities so-called "zero-day vulnerabilities." The existing computer vaccines are mostly signature-based and thus are effective only against known attack patterns, but not capable of detecting zero-days attacks. To mitigate such limitations of the current solutions, there have been a numerous works that takes a behavior-based approach to improve detection against unknown malwares. However, behavior-based solutions arbitrarily introduced a several limitations that made them unsuitable for real-life situations. This paper proposes an advanced web browser based malicious behavior detection system that solves the problems and limitations of the previous approaches.

Until now, the study and research on the projects which have internationally conducted are in poor condition with regard to the security vulnerability analysis of web application. This is due to a lack of precedent study for improving the quality of the web services in order to provide better services for the future. In this paper, I analyze the types of the web application vulnerabilities which have been studied and mapped out a plan for protecting them.

This is the world of computer science and innovations. In this modern era, every day new apps, webs and software are being introduced. As well as new apps and software are being introduced, similarly threats and vulnerable security matters are also increasing. Web apps are software that can be used by customers for numerous useful tasks, and because of the developer experience of good programming standards, web applications that can be used by an attacker also have multiple sides. Web applications Security is expected to protect the content of critical web and to ensure secure data transmission. Application safety must therefore be enforced across all infrastructure, including the web application itself, that supports the web applications. Many organizations currently have a type of web application protection scheme or attempt to build/develop, but the bulk of these schemes are incapable of generating value consistently and effectively, and therefore do not improve developers' attitude in building/designing stable Web applications. This article aims to analyze the attacks on the website and address security scanners of web applications to help us resolve web application security challenges.

The e-Government standard framework provides overall technologies such as reuse of common components for web environment development such as domestic government/public institutions, connection of standard modules, and resolution of dependencies. However, in a standardized development environment, there is a possibility of updating old versions according to core versions and leakage of personal and confidential information due to hacking or computer viruses. This study directly analyzes security vulnerabilities focusing on websites that operate eGovFrame in Korea. As a result of analyzing/classifying vulnerabilities at the internal programming language source code level, five items associated with representative security vulnerabilities could be extracted again. As a countermeasure against this, the security settings and functions through the 2 steps (1st and 2nd steps) and security policy will be explained. This study aims to improve the security function of the e-government framework and contribute to the vitalization of the service.

The intrusions appears continuously by new unknown attacks exploiting vulnerabilities of systems or components but there are no perfect solutions to protect this unknown attacks. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we have proposed and implemented a Web service intrusion tolerant system that provides continuous Web services to the end users transparently even after the occurrence of an attack against the Web services, and prevents the disclosure of system's configuration data from server Our system has an N+l node architecture which is to minimize the number of redundant server nodes and to tolerate the intrusion effectively, and it also supports diversity in its design. Experimental result obtained on an implemented system show that our system can cope with intrusion such as DoS, file modification, confidentiality compromise of system properly.

Recent Security Programs are widely used to improve the security of Client Systems in the Web authentication. Security Program is provide the function of the Keyboard Security and Certificate Management, Vaccines, Firewall. in particular, This Security Program has been used Financial Institutions and Government Agencies, and some private corporate Home Page. and ActiveX is used to install the Security Program. but Security Programs caused by several security vulnerabilities and problems as they appear, are threat to the stability of the Client System. Therefore, This paper will be analyzed through Case Studies and Experiments to the Vulnerabilities and Problems of Security Program and This Is expected to be utilized to further improve the performance of the Security Program and the building of a new Certification Scheme for material in the future.

Use-After-Free (UAF) is a common lethal form of software vulnerability. By using tools such as Web Browser Fuzzing, a large amount of samples containing UAF vulnerabilities can be generated. To evaluate the threat level of vulnerability or to patch the vulnerabilities, automatic deduplication and exploitability determination should be carried out for these samples. There are some problems existing in current methods, including inadequate pertinence, lack of depth and precision of analysis, high time cost, and low accuracy. In this paper, in terms of key dangling pointer and crash context, we analyze four properties of similar samples of UAF vulnerability, explore the method of extracting and calculate clustering eigenvalues from these samples, perform clustering by fast search and find of density peaks on a large number of vulnerability samples. Samples were divided into different UAF vulnerability categories according to the clustering results, and the exploitability of these UAF vulnerabilities was determined by observing the shape of class cluster. Experimental results showed that the approach was applicable to the deduplication and exploitability determination of a large amount of UAF vulnerability samples, with high accuracy and low performance cost.

Several Web Service security standards are widely utilized aiming at securing exchanges of SOAP messages among partners in a collaborative environment. Although such standards are suitable for ensuring end-to-end message level security, certain attacks such as XML rewriting may still occur and lead to significant security vulnerabilities. This paper explores the security vulnerabilities of SOAP messages and proposes an ontology-based approach that can successfully combat the security threats. We develop ontology-based schema to include SOAP structure information in outgoing SOAP message and validate this information in the receiving end. Thus, allow to detect XML rewriting attacks early in the validating process.
