Building secure software nowadays is a dominant goal in software development. Consequently, analyzing software vulnerabilities in order to determine how they can be prevented is the pivot of computer security. This paper presents a static analysis framework based on uniform intermediate representation to detect software vulnerabilities, and we have implemented an analysis tool called Melon based on the Microsoft Phoenix. We evaluate the effectiveness of Melon through a number of testing, and the experimental results show that it can effectively validate and analyze software vulnerabilities.
