Researchers from MIT have written a new code that can spot security bugs from the Ruby on Rails application in less than a minute.
Called Space, this new code debugger is the subject of a research paper that will be presented at the International Conference on Software Engineering, in May.
According to the researchers that worked on the project, they say they’ve rewritten the entire code of the Ruby on Rails (Rails or RoR) framework so it could be defined by simple logical operations.
These operations would then be fed to a static code analyzer that took into account seven ways in which users would interact with the data based on context and their permission levels.
