# Static Security Analyzer Skill

## Description

Wrapper around Tizen Studio static analyzer. Detects memory leaks, buffer overflows, and coding vulnerabilities in C/C++/JavaScript.

## When to Use

This is a Tizen security/IoT skill. Use when:
- Developing Tizen applications (web, native, .NET)
- Auditing Tizen app security
- Provisioning TizenRT/ARTIK IoT devices
- Implementing Tizen compliance
- Analyzing SMACK policies or Cynara access control

## Tizen Security Model

### SMACK (Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel)
- Linux kernel 3.12+ mandatory access control
- Process isolation via labels
- Prevent inter-app resource access

### Cynara
- Fast privilege access control service
- Policy-based permission checking
- External agent integration

### KeyManager
- Central secure storage repository
- Password-protected data access
- Certificate and key management

### Tizen Manifest
- Privilege declarations (public, partner, platform)
- App sandboxing configuration
- Resource access specifications

Overview

This skill is a wrapper around the Tizen Studio static analyzer that scans C, C++, and JavaScript code to detect memory leaks, buffer overflows, and common coding vulnerabilities. It integrates Tizen-specific security checks to help developers and auditors find issues early in the development lifecycle. The output focuses on actionable diagnostics that map to Tizen security models like SMACK and Cynara.

How this skill works

The analyzer parses project source files and runs the Tizen static analysis engine to identify resource leaks, unsafe buffer use, null dereferences, and insecure API usage patterns. It correlates findings with Tizen manifest privileges and sandboxing rules to highlight privilege-related risks. Results are returned as prioritized diagnostics with file locations, severity, and remediation hints.

When to use it

During development of Tizen native, web, or .NET applications to catch security defects early
When performing security audits or code reviews of Tizen apps and IoT firmware
Before app store submission to ensure manifest and privilege usage are compliant
When provisioning or hardening TizenRT/ARTIK IoT device software
To verify SMACK labels, Cynara-related permission checks, or key management usage

Best practices

Run the analyzer as part of continuous integration to detect regressions early
Fix high-severity findings first (memory leaks, buffer overflows) and re-scan
Use findings to improve manifest privilege declarations and minimize requested permissions
Combine static analysis results with dynamic testing and fuzzing for broader coverage
Annotate or suppress findings only after a documented review to avoid hiding real issues

Example use cases

Scan a native C app to locate a heap leak introduced during a recent refactor
Audit JavaScript logic in a Tizen web app for unsafe eval or DOM injection vectors
Validate that an app’s manifest only requests required privileges and flags risky calls
Assess firmware components on an ARTIK device for buffer overflow risks before deployment
Use scan reports to drive remediation tickets and track security debt reduction

FAQ

Which languages does the analyzer support?

It supports C, C++, and JavaScript sources commonly used in Tizen applications.

Does it check Tizen-specific policies like SMACK or Cynara?

Yes. It maps code patterns and manifest entries to Tizen security models to surface privilege and access-control risks.
