Synopsys Coverity Panel

What is the Synopsys Coverity Panel?

The Synopsys Coverity Panel is a module designed to detect vulnerabilities in software. It specifically targets the Coverity® software, which is a fast, accurate, and highly scalable static analysis (SAST) solution. This module helps development and security teams address security and quality defects early in the software development life cycle (SDLC), track and manage risks across the application portfolio, and ensure software security.

Severity: Informative

Impact

This module provides information about potential vulnerabilities in the targeted software. It helps identify security and quality defects, allowing teams to take appropriate actions to mitigate risks and improve the overall security of the software.

How does the module work?

The Synopsys Coverity Panel module works by performing static analysis on the targeted software. It uses HTTP request templates and matching conditions to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The module sends HTTP requests to the software and checks for specific conditions to determine if a vulnerability or misconfiguration exists.

Example HTTP request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

The module uses matching conditions to determine if the software is vulnerable or misconfigured. In this case, the matching conditions include:

- The presence of the "<title>Coverity® :: Sign in</title>" in the body of the response. - A response status code of 200.

If both conditions are met, the module will report a vulnerability.
