Summary:In some examples, a system for detecting a third party software element can include a processor to generate a software element signature for each software element detected in a plurality of applications in a repository. The processor can also detect third party software elements by identifying software elements that are included in a number of the plurality of applications that exceeds a threshold value. Additionally, the processor can generate a test signature corresponding to at least one software element in an application to be tested and compare the test signature to each of the software element signatures corresponding to the third party software elements. Furthermore, the processor can detect that the test signature matches at least one of the third party software elements with a security vulnerability and modify the application to be tested to prevent execution of the at least one software element corresponding to the test signature.
