While static analysis is effective in capturing certain aspects of JWMM, it also has limitations that need to be addressed. Some potential limitations of the static analysis approach used in JWBinder include:
Limited visibility into runtime behavior: Static analysis may not capture the full range of behaviors exhibited by dynamically generated code or data during execution. To address this limitation, incorporating dynamic analysis techniques can provide a more comprehensive view of the runtime behavior of JWMM.
Obfuscation techniques: Malicious actors often employ obfuscation techniques to evade static analysis. JWBinder may struggle to analyze obfuscated code effectively. To overcome this limitation, integrating de-obfuscation mechanisms or enhancing the static analysis algorithms to handle obfuscated code can be beneficial.
Complexity of interoperations: The intricate interoperations between JavaScript and WebAssembly can pose challenges for static analysis. Understanding the nuances of these interactions and capturing them accurately in the analysis may be difficult. Enhancing the analysis algorithms to handle the complexity of cross-language interactions can help address this limitation.
To address these limitations, a hybrid approach combining static and dynamic analysis, along with advanced techniques like de-obfuscation and behavior analysis, can enhance the effectiveness of JWBinder in detecting and analyzing JWMM.
