Reuse has great benefits, including time-to-market, quality, and interoperability, but sometimes brings the cost of hidden complexity and risk.<\/p>\n<p>You trust your engineering team, but the code they write often accounts for only a tiny fraction of the entire application. How well do you understand what all those external software components actually do? You may find that you\u2019re placing as much trust in each of the thousands of contributors to those components as you have in your in-house engineering team.<\/p>\n<p>At Microsoft, our software engineers use open source software to provide our customers high-quality software and services. Recognizing the inherent risks in trusting open source software, we created a source code analyzer called <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/ApplicationInspector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Application Inspector<\/a> to identify &#8220;interesting&#8221; features and metadata, like the use of cryptography, connecting to a remote entity, and the platforms it runs on.<\/p>\n<p>Application Inspector differs from more typical static analysis tools in that it isn\u2019t limited to detecting poor programming practices; rather, it surfaces interesting characteristics in the code that would otherwise be time-consuming or difficult to identify through manual introspection. It then simply reports what&#8217;s there, without judgement.<\/p>\n<p>For example, consider this snippet of Python source code:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90437 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code.png\" alt=\"Image of Python source code.\" width=\"1209\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code.png 1209w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code-1024x340.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Code-768x255.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1209px) 100vw, 1209px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here we can see that a program that downloads content from a URL, writes it to the file system, and then executes a shell command to list details of that file. If we run this code through Application Inspector, we&#8217;ll see the following features identified which tells us a lot about what it can do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FileOperation.Write<\/li>\n<li>Network.Connection.Http<\/li>\n<li>Process.DynamicExecution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this small example, it would be trivial to examine the snippet manually to identify those same features, but many components contain tens of thousands of lines of code, and modern web applications often use hundreds of such components. Application Inspector is designed to be used individually or at scale and can analyze millions of lines of source code from components built using many different programming languages. It\u2019s simply infeasible to attempt to do this manually.<\/p>\n<h3>Application Inspector is positioned to help in key scenarios<\/h3>\n<p>We use Application Inspector to identify key changes to a component&#8217;s feature set over time (version to version), which can indicate anything from an increased attack surface to a malicious backdoor. We also use the tool to identify high-risk components and those with unexpected features that require additional scrutiny, under the theory that a vulnerability in a component that is involved in cryptography, authentication, or deserialization would likely have higher impact than others.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Application Inspector<\/h3>\n<p>Application Inspector is a cross-platform, command-line tool that can produce output in multiple formats, including JSON and interactive HTML. Here is an example of an HTML report:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90460 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2.png\" alt=\"Image of Feature Groups in Microsoft Application Inspector.\" width=\"1281\" height=\"784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2.png 1281w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2-1024x627.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2-440x268.png 440w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Microsoft-Application-Inspector-2-392x240.png 392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1281px) 100vw, 1281px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Each icon in the report above represents a feature that was identified in the source code.
