The Spring framework is widely used in developing enterprise web applications. Spring core technologies, such as Dependency Injection and Aspect-Oriented Programming, make development faster and easier. However, the implementation of Spring core technologies uses a lot of dynamic features. Those features impose significant challenges when using static analysis to reason about the behavior of Spring-based applications. In this paper, we propose Jasmine, a static analysis framework with respect to Spring core technologies extends from Soot to enhance the call graph’s completeness while not greatly affecting its performance. We evaluate Jasmine’s completeness, precision, and performance using Spring micro-benchmarks and a suite of 18 real-world Spring programs. Our experiments show that Jasmine effectively enhances the state-of-the-art tools based on Soot and Doop to better support Spring core technologies. We also add Jasmine support to FlowDroid and discovered twelve sensitive information leakage paths in our benchmarks. Jasmine is expected to provide significant benefits for many program analyses scenes of Spring applications where more completeness of call graphs are required.
