description

The VEX Generation Toolset is a complete set of tools to analyze the reachability of vulnerabilities in Java application and generation of VEX statements:

Root cause service: Enriches the vulnerability record with the vulnerable method data,
Call graph generator: Generates calls graphs for a Maven artifact,
VEX Statement Generator: Generates the VEX statements.
