Current Status and Challenges of Automated Vulnerability Mitigation Based on Limited Software Information

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) As a countermeasure against software supply chain attacks, prompt patch application is required when vulnerabilities are discovered in dependent software. However, in real-world operations, immediate patching is often infeasible due to concerns about availability, making it crucial to mitigate the risk during the vulnerability exposure window before patches can be applied. Although numerous studies on vulnerability mitigation exist, most of them assume the availability of detailed information such as source code and environment configurations, which is not necessarily accessible in situations such as outsourced vulnerability response. In this paper, we survey existing research on automated vulnerability response and organize it from the perspective of the information required for application. Through this survey, we show that achieving vulnerability mitigation based on limited software information involves two key challenges: given that the complete supplementation of missing information is fundamentally infeasible, (1) the development of mitigation techniques that explicitly account for the uncertainty of inferred information, and (2) the evaluation of side effects of mitigation strategies under such uncertainty.
