Vulnerability response based on interface instrumentation

A runtime dependency security computer system for protecting a software code against a security vulnerability, the system comprising:

• one or more processors and a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program code portions which, when executed by the one or more processors, enable the one or more processors to:
• integrate a dependency profiler with the at least one software code component;
• intercept, at runtime of the software code component, the function call to at least one API of the service component, thereby detecting dynamically dependencies;
• record a sequence of usage of the detected dependencies in a profiler report;
• and
• perform a response action based on known vulnerabilities in the sequence of the usage of the detected dependencies.

A computer program product for securing a software code against a security vulnerability, wherein the software code comprises at least one software code component, some of which comprising a function call to a service component, whereby each function call represents a dependency:

• the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by one or more computing systems or controllers to cause the one or more computing systems to:
• integrate a dependency profiler with the at least one software code component;
• intercept, at runtime of the software code component, the function call to at least one API of the service component, thereby detecting dynamically dependencies;
• record a sequence of usage of the detected dependencies in a profiler report;
• and
• perform a response action based on known vulnerabilities in the sequence of the usage of the detected dependencies.
