ABOUT US (TEAM)
Maintaining security is a constantly shifting task, and we need to
respond with continuous learning and research. The portfolio of SAP
Security Research contains those topics that we believe are most
important for SAP’s security future.
SAP’s vision to secure business is built on 3 ideals:
ZERO-VULNERABILITY, to harden the software by eliminating
vulnerabilities, DEFENSIBLE APPLICATION, to enable the software to
identify and prevent attacks, and ZERO-KNOWLEDGE, to make any theft of
data useless through encryption.
Considering these aspects, SAP Security Research covers the following
focal areas: Anonymization for Big Data, Secure Internet of Things,
Software security analysis, Open-source analysis, Deceptive
application, Applied cryptography, Quantum technology, and Machine
Learning as enabler for the next generation of security.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
This internship is based in the SAP Labs France Research Lab, in
Sophia-Antipolis. The work will be performed in the context of the
Research Program “SAP Security Research”, under the Web Security
topic. This topic aims at detecting and preventing vulnerabilities on
software systems, with a special focus on web applications
The goal of the internship is to develop an automated framework for
our SAST testability patterns. In a recent research work on PHP and
JavaScript, we demonstrated that the problem of false negatives for
SAST should not be under-estimated. We provided experimental evidence
that SAST tools cannot analyze more than 30 lines of codes in real
applications without encountering some difficult-to-understand code
fragments. We captured these challenging code fragments in a catalog
of testability patterns (TPs), measured SAST tools against these TPs,
created discovery rules for these TPs and manually discovered them in
real applications, and devised a few transformations for some TPs to
remove challenges from the applications making them more testable for
SAST tools. All these operations were performed with a significant
amount of manual effort. To cope with this, we started developing an
automated framework for TPs. In this internship, we want to complete
that framework, by maturing the existing features and adding the
missing ones, e.g., a transformation module to automate refactoring of
TPs whenever possible. The work also requires devising transformations
for those TPs that still do not have one as well as creating new TPs,
if new code challenges are experienced.
EXPECTATIONS AND TASKS
Some of the tasks to be addressed shall include:
* Understanding the SAP development process
* Understanding SAST as well as experiencing with concrete
tools/techniques
* Understanding challenging vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS) and their
detection in application code
* Understanding the corpus of testability patterns so far created for
PHP and JavaScript
* Enriching testability patterns with transformation rules where
needed
* Continuing the development of our automated framework for
testability patterns (Python, docker, …)
* Contributing to experiment our framework on real selected SAP
applications
* Documenting the developed software and the overall activities
We expect that 70% of time will be dedicated to development and 30% to
research activities.
