Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717124, 717125, 717134, 717135

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for determining a minimum set of permissions for a software component. A first set of minimum permissions is determined for proper execution of the software component. The first set designates one or more permissions. Determining the first set includes performing iterative testing to determine whether one or more user permissions are included in the first set by only disabling one of the user permissions on an iteration. Verification processing may be performed in which a second set of minimum permissions is determined and the first set may be compared to the second set to determine whether the first set is equivalent to the second set.

Abstract:

Methods and computer-readable media are provided for refreshing a page validation token. In response to a request for a form from a client, a server responds with the requested form, a page validation token, and a page token refresh program. The client executes the page token refresh program in response to a request to post the contents of the form to the server computer. The page token refresh program determines whether a preset period of time has elapsed since server computer generated the page validation token. If the period of time has not elapsed, the form is posted to the server with the page validation token and processed by the server computer. If the page timeout has elapsed, the page token refresh program refreshes the page validation token prior to posting the form by requesting an updated page validation token from the server.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707005000

Abstract:

A program product and method is disclosed that rely on user interaction in the ordering of search results returned by a search engine. Each of a plurality of records in a database is associated with a user-interaction parameter that is associated with the duration of time that a user accesses a particular record of the search result. Provided that the duration of time that the user accesses the record is greater than a predetermined relevant time period, the user-interaction parameter is weighted to increase the relevance of this record in relation to records that did were not accessed for the relevant time period used in ordering the records identified in a result set generated in response to a search request.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707002000

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for detecting injection vulnerabilities associated with a database query. An initial set of input data including one or more data items is received. A database query is in accordance with the initial set of input data. A detector determines whether one of the data items included in the initial set of input data is associated with an unexpected event by analyzing trace output generated as a result of operations executed in connection with performing the database query.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A threat protection system provides for detecting links in a document and analyzing whether one of the detected links is a malicious link that may direct a user of the document to a malicious universal resource locator (URL). In one implementation of the described technology, when a user selects a link in a document, a link activation module calls a threat protection client module that performs a reputation check for the link. If the selected link is malicious, the threat protection client module sends a URL of a warning page to the link activation module.
