FAQPage Schema
How do I correlate source patch history with CVEs for threat modeling?

Source patch history correlation maps commit logs to CVEs and advisories to identify bug precedent. This process pinpoints historically vulnerable files and functions to prioritize risky code sections for focused security audits.

What is the best way to identify bug precedent from codebase history?

Identifying bug precedent involves analyzing commit history alongside quiet hardening diffs and security advisories. This reveals hidden vulnerability fixes and highlights code areas with historical security issues for deeper static code analysis.

Can I prioritize risky source code files using CVE correlation?

Yes, CVE correlation prioritizes risky source code files by mapping historical vulnerabilities and advisories directly to specific commits. This allows security audits to target the most historically bug-prone functions first.

Do I need maxtac-source to run source code analysis and CVE correlation?

Yes, you need the maxtac-source plugin and maxtac-core to run source code analysis and CVE correlation. These dependencies provide the foundational environment required to execute the patch history loop and generate enriched threat models.

When should I use source history correlation for security audits?

Use source history correlation for security audits when you need to enrich a code subsystem threat model with historical vulnerability context. It effectively highlights bug precedent and prioritizes risky files based on past CVEs and quiet hardening diffs.
