Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Based on the common problems of the original fuzzy testing technique and the needs of RESTful API fuzzy testing, this paper proposes a white-box fuzzy testing method of REST API based on graph resource nodes for RESTful API software interface testing by using EvoMaster as a basic tool.The effectiveness of the fuzzy testing technique in this paper is analyzed.21 apps with millions of downloads obtain more than 65,000 web request data and more than 8.5GB HAR files, and an average of 2,966 web request data is collected for each app.The REST interface filtering method of this paper's fuzzy testing approach effectively and accurately targets interface objects for fuzzy testing.The number of generated requests of the REST API white-box fuzzing test method based on graph resource nodes in this paper is much lower than that of other tools, and the efficiency of vulnerability discovery is much higher than that of other tools.The test method in this paper improves the number of lines of code covered in six hours by an average of 53.86% over other tools.The test method in this paper can identify more vulnerabilities and can cover all the vulnerabilities found.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
