Abstract:

This report summarizes technical progress and plans for developing a system to perform automated classification and advanced prioritization of static analysis alerts. Many features and fields have been added to the SEIs SCALe static analysis alert auditing tool for this. This report describes the new features and fields. It also describes the plan to connect this enhanced version of SCALe to an architecture that will provide classification and prioritization via API calls, and provides the API definition that has been developed. A prototype instantiating the architecture is being developed, and future work will complete the prototype and then integrate the latest version of SCALe with it.
