InsightQL: A Unified Code Database for Fuzz Blocker Analysis

Fuzzing is a highly effective automated testing method for uncovering software vulnerabilities. Despite advances in fuzzing techniques, many fuzzers still struggle with coverage plateaus caused by fuzz blockers, which limit their ability to discover deeper vulnerabilities. We introduce InsightQL, the first human-assist...
