    Code Vulnerability Identification and Code Improvement using Advanced Machine Learning
    (2019 1st International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2019-12-05) Ruggahakotuwa, L.; Rupasinghe, L.; Abeygunawardhana, P.
    Cyber-attacks are fairly mundane. The misconfigurations of the source code can result in security vulnerabilities that potentially encourage the attackers to exploit them and compromise the system. This paper aims to discover various mechanisms of automating the detection and correction of vulnerabilities in source code. Usage of static and dynamic analysis, various machine learning, deep learning, and neural network techniques will enhance the automation of detecting and correcting processes. This paper systematically presents the various methods and research efforts of detecting vulnerabilities in the source code, starting with what is a software vulnerability and what kind of exploitation, existing vulnerability detection methods, correction methods and efforts of best researches in the world relevant to the research area. A plugin will be developed which is capable of intelligently and efficiently detecting the vulnerable source code segment and correcting the source code accurately in the development stage.
