Security Threat Detection by Converting Scripts Using Validation Graphs

A tool uses a graph-based approach to analyze scripts to determine whether the scripts pose security threats when executed. The tool breaks down scripts into component steps and generates a graph based on those steps. The tool then converts the graph into a vector and compares that vector with clusters of other vectors. Based on that comparison, the tool determines whether the script will cause a security vulnerability. If the script causes a security threat when executed, the script may be prevented from executing.
