Abstract

Open source software presents new opportunities for software acquisition but introduces risks. The selection of open source applications should take into account both features and security risks. Risks include security vulnerabilities, of which published vulnerabilities are only the tip of the iceberg. Having an application's source code lets us look deeper at its security. SAVI (Static-Analysis Vulnerability Indicator) is a metric for assessing risks of using software built by external developers. It combines several types of static-analysis data to rank application vulnerability.
