A <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1910.01321\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">paper<\/a> titled &#8220;An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples,&#8221; highlights the same.<\/p>\n<h3>Copied codes can result in serious vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n<p>The authors or the paper reviewed more than 72,000 C++ code snippets taken from 1,325 Stack Overflow posts. They found 69 vulnerable snippets of 29 different types.<\/p>\n<p>While this number might not seem a lot keeping the huge number of GitHub projects in mind, but those 69 vulnerable snippets did show up in 2,589 GitHub repos \u2014 which is concerning.<\/p>\n<h3>Not everyone cares<\/h3>\n<p>Even though the researchers took the responsibility of notifying the authors of affected GitHub projects, only some chose to fix the flaws that consisted of known CWEs (Common Weakness Enumeration).<\/p>\n<p>The research aimed to describe how flawed code finds its way from Stack Overflow to GitHub, and using codes without reviewing it carefully can lead to potential vulnerabilities in software.<\/p>\n<p>For this study, the team chose to focus on projects based on C++. Most of the frequently found CWEs were CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), CWE-754 (Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions), and CWE-1006 (Bad Coding Practices). (Incomplete Sentence)<\/p>\n<h3>Wrong use of the platform<\/h3>\n<p>Stack Overflow is mainly about questioning and answering. Several developers who submit snippets of code as a solution may not have a sound understanding of code security.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, it&#8217;s not wise to use such codes under this assumption. It is better for programmers if they learn it the hard way and adopt secure coding practices.<\/p>\n<h3>But there&#8217;s a solution to use Stack Overflow codes safely<\/h3>\n<p>Giving up on Stack Overflow isn&#8217;t that simple for many developers, so the researchers have developed a Chrome extension that can help in determining code security.<\/p>\n<p>On installing the extension, it checks the copied code against the CWE database and alerts the programmer if the code snippet has known flaws.<\/p>\n<p>The developers of the extension are planning to release it soon. We will let you know as soon as that happens.
