Across Function Boundaries: Why Single-Function Taint Analysis Fails
📰 Dev.to · Dockfix Labs
Learn why single-function taint analysis is insufficient for securing LLM calls and how to improve security across function boundaries
Action Steps
- Identify potential taint sources in your codebase using SAST scanners
- Analyze data flows across function boundaries to detect indirect taints
- Implement additional security measures, such as input validation and sanitization, to protect LLM calls
- Configure your SAST scanner to perform inter-procedural analysis for more comprehensive results
- Test your security setup with simulated attacks to ensure its effectiveness
