Paralegal: Rust Static Analyzer Automates Privacy Bug Detection with Novel Collaborative Approach
A new static analysis tool called Paralegal is transforming how developers uncover privacy bugs in Rust applications by distributing responsibilities between privacy engineers and coders. Leveraging Rust's ownership system and program dependence graphs, it found unknown vulnerabilities in real-world apps and outperforms tools like CodeQL. This breakthrough offers a practical, maintainable solution for securing modern software.
