Sobelow: Static analysis for the Phoenix Framework
Sobelow is the first security‐focused static analysis tool for the Phoenix framework. For security researchers, it is a useful tool for getting a quick view of points‐of‐interest. For project maintainers, it can be used to prevent the introduction of a number of common vulnerabilities.
Currently Sobelow detects some types of the following security issues:
- Insecure Configuration
- Known‐Vulnerable Dependencies Cross‐Site Scripting
- SQL Injection
- Command Injection
- Denial of Service
- Directory Traversal
- Unsafe Serialization
Potential vulnerabilities are flagged in different colors according to confidence in their insecurity. High confidence is red, medium confidence is yellow, and low confidence is green.
