Abstract
A method and apparatus for assessing vulnerability in a system of electronic devices, comprises determining a distinguishing characteristic of a version of a computer program as installed in a usable format to distinguish that version from at least one further version; identifying an indication of a defect giving rise to vulnerability to malicious activity in code or data used by the distinguished version; maintaining a mapping between the distinguished and the indication; scanning the system for presence of the distinguished version; determining that a vulnerable portion is used by the distinguished version; and in response indicating with a vulnerability indicator that the electronic device is vulnerable to the malicious activity according to the mapping; assigning a risk value associated with the installed instance; and emitting an alert signal identifying the vulnerability and indicating the risk value associated with the installed instance. The scanning is further controlled to prevent exposure of sensitive code and data.
