JSSlicer: A Static Program Slicing Tool for JavaScript
Liming Wang, Ying Xian, Li Zhang, Xi Yang Liu · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
The rapid development of Web 2.0 leads scripting language such as JavaScript to be ubiquitous in web pages; however the dynamic nature and flexibility of JavaScript make its development, debugging, maintenance, and reuse difficult. To improve the efficiency and accuracy of JavaSript security analysis, we propose a new JavaScript analysis method based on program slicing, together with a prototype-implemented JavaScript slicing tool, named JSSlicer. We also present a proof-of-concept application example of JSSlicer where an example of the common mode failure problem is tackled.
