Fixing Bugs with Deep Learning

In a new paper, Self-Supervised Bug Detection and Repair, presented at the 2021 Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2021), Microsoft show a promising deep learning model, called BugLab.

BugLab can be taught to detect and fix bugs, without using labelled data, through a “hide and seek” game. The goal of our work is to develop better AI that can automatically find and repair bugs.

BugLab uses two competing models that learn by playing a “hide and seek” game that is broadly inspired by generative adversarial networks (GAN).

For some samples, please check out the Microsoft blog at the link below.

GUI bug in KennaSecurity

There is a minor bug found at the Kenna's user interface that I encounter today.

To simulate the bug, from the Dashboard, look for any Kenna meter that has zero asset count (or you can create one), click on it to explore the asset/vuln list. And you will found that most of the filters are missing at the Explore page, such as:

• (Asset Filters) Active/inactive
• (Asset Filters) Tag
• (Asset Filters) Sort by (everything)
• (Vulnerability Filters) Status
• (Vulnerability Filters) Classification
• (Vulnerability Filters) Connector names .....
• (Vulnerability Filters) custom fields.....
