  • the present invention relates to an analysis device, an analysis method, and an analysis program.
  • Script analysis techniques are used for a variety of purposes, such as compiler optimization for just-in-time (JIT) compilation, software testing and debugging, fuzzing, and malware analysis.
  • Obtaining branching information is one of the important elements in script analysis. How the execution of a script branches is important information for understanding the control flow of the script.
  • the branch information here refers to which code part in the script branches to which code part. To obtain this branch information, it is necessary to analyze the script.
  • the script engine provides analysis support functions such as a debugger or bytecode disassembler, and it may be possible to achieve this using these. However, if such functions are not available, it is necessary to analyze the script independently to find out the branches, which is not easy.
  • Dynamic analysis is a technique that analyzes the behavior of the program being analyzed by actually executing it and observing its behavior.
  • Static analysis is a technique that analyzes the functions of the program being analyzed by interpreting its meaning without executing it. These types of analysis techniques are used to obtain branching information.
  • obfuscation involves applying conversions to programs that make them difficult to interpret, primarily to hinder static analysis.
  • parts of the script are encoded or encrypted, and then dynamically decoded or decrypted at run time before execution. In such cases, the type of script that will be executed is not clear until it is executed. This makes static analysis of the script difficult.
  • Script execution method Scripts are executed by a crypto engine (also called an interpreter). Scripts are generally converted into bytecodes at runtime, and the bytecodes are interpreted and executed by a virtual machine (VM). For this reason, scripts are analyzed before execution, and the bytecodes are analyzed at execution.
  • a crypto engine also called an interpreter
  • VM virtual machine
  • Branch instructions In a script engine, a branch is performed by a VM instruction that performs the branch (called a branch VM instruction).

  • the first is a list of opcodes for the branch VM instruction.
  • the second is information about the operands of the branch VM instruction, specifically which operand holds the branch destination.
  • the third is the addressing method for the branch destination.
  • Non-Patent Document 1 a method has been proposed that uses a test script to analyze the VM instructions of an unknown script engine and determine which opcode instructions are branch VM instructions.
  • Non-Patent Document 2 a method has been proposed that can analyze VM instructions contained in unknown bytecode using data tracing with taint analysis to reveal branching VM instructions.
  • Non-Patent Document 1 only determines the opcode of the branch VM instruction, and does not disclose a method for analyzing the operands.
  • Non-Patent Document 2 only targets information obtained from the actually executed parts of the VM and its bytecode used by malware for obfuscation, and has the problem that it cannot be directly applied to the VM used by the script engine and the bytecode generated from the script.
  • Another problem with the technique described in Non-Patent Document 2 is that it does not show how to analyze complex control flows, such as calls using function name symbols, which can be seen in script bytecode.

  • the advancement of the VPC changes depending on the branch destination.
  • the advancement of the VPC changes depending on the size of the VM instruction. For this reason, when pairs of VM instruction opcodes and pointers to VM instructions are collected and the advancement of the VPC is examined for each opcode, if it is a branch instruction, the advancement of the VPC will vary depending on the branch destination.

  • the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 determines that the addressing method for the branch destination of this branch VM instruction is the immediate addressing method. In other words, if taint tag T1 is propagated to the VPC by execution of the branch VM instruction, the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 determines that the addressing method for the branch destination of the branch VM instruction is the immediate addressing method ((2) in FIG. 13). The branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 then determines that the original data portion with taint tag T1 added to the data moved to the VPC is the operand of the branch destination of the branch VM instruction being analyzed.
  • the direct addressing method is a method of specifying the memory area in which the branch destination address is stored. With direct addressing, the address stored at the destination of the specified address becomes the value of the VPC.
  • the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 therefore assigns a first tag T21 (see FIG. 14) to the code cache of the branch VM instruction being analyzed, and executes the branch VM instruction while propagating the first tag T21 in accordance with the movement of data. If data with the first tag T21 is referenced by a pointer during execution of the branch VM instruction being analyzed, the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 assigns a second tag T22 to the referenced data ((1) in FIG. 14).
  • the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 determines that the addressing method for the branch destination of this branch VM instruction is the direct addressing method ((2) in FIG. 14).

  • the relative addressing method specifies an offset from the current VPC. Therefore, with the relative addressing method, the value of the VPC after branching is the current VPC value plus this offset.
  • the branch VM instruction analysis unit 1224 then assigns a first tag T31 (see FIG. 15) to the VPC of the branch VM instruction being analyzed, and assigns a second tag T32 (see FIG. 15) to the code cache of the branch VM instruction being analyzed.
