Creation of generalized code templates to protect web application components

One or more computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to facilitate protection of web application components, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to at least:

• receive a plurality of web resources associated with a web application;
• process the plurality of web resources to generate individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources by removing data constants and code formatting elements from the web resources;
• store a set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources in a probabilistic data structure;
• and
• deploy a security web module comprising the probabilistic data structure having the set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources stored therein to protect the web application.

An apparatus to facilitate protection of web application components, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• receive a plurality of web resources associated with a web application;
• process the plurality of web resources to generate individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources by removing data constants and code formatting elements from the web resources;
• store a set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources in a probabilistic data structure;
• and
• deploy a security web module comprising the probabilistic data structure having the set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources stored therein to protect the web application.
