1. Vista General del Motor

El VulnerabilityCorrelator es el núcleo del sistema HybridSecScan. Su función es determinar si dos vulnerabilidades (una de SAST y otra de DAST) corresponden a la misma falla de seguridad.

4. Algoritmo de Cálculo de Confianza

Fórmula de Correlación

El método _calculate_correlation_confidence() implementa un algoritmo híbrido que combina reglas determinísticas con Machine Learning:

Confianza = (F1 × 0.40) + (F2 × 0.35) + (F3 × 0.15) + (F4 × 0.10)

Donde:
F1 = Endpoint Similarity ∈ [0, 1]
F2 = Type Match ∈ {0, 0.20, 0.35}
F3 = ML Confidence ∈ [0, 1]
F4 = Severity Similarity ∈ [0, 1]
