Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Delivered a targeted bug fix in Fraunhofer-AISEC/cpg to ensure correct logger resolution in Python code analysis by processing nodes in the Evaluation Order Graph (EOG) order. Added a test verifying that getLogger is resolved before any logging usage, improving reliability of Python logging during analysis. This work enhances observability, reduces flaky logs, and strengthens debugging for downstream users.

May 1, 2025May 2025 Monthly Summary for Fraunhofer-AISEC/cpg. Focused on strengthening OverlayNodes lifecycle and graph integrity to improve robustness and developer experience. Key features: cleanup of final state in EOGConceptPass and documentation updates clarifying OverlayNodes creation order. Major bug fix: robust OverlayNodes disconnection mechanism ensuring overlay edges are cleared when an OverlayNode or its underlying node is disconnected, with test coverage (testDisconnect). These efforts reduce edge-case risks in the code property graph pipeline and improve maintainability, onboarding, and future feature work. Technologies demonstrated: graph algorithms, lifecycle management, test automation, and documentation practices. Business value: more reliable graph construction, fewer regressions when modifying OverlayNodes, and faster onboarding for contributors.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 – Fraunhofer-AISEC/cpg: Delivered the foundation for security-focused modeling by introducing the cpg-concepts module and disk-encryption extensions. Key accomplishments include the core Concept/Operation modeling for disk encryption, enabling integration with cpg-neo4j and cpg-console with tests, and introducing new nodes and operations to represent BlockStorage, Cipher, Secret, and the CreateEncryptedDisk and UnlockEncryptedDisk workflows. The changes establish a modular, test-covered framework for representing encryption-related concepts in the Code Property Graph, unlocking improved risk assessment, data-protection design reviews, and compliance tracing. This work adds business value by enabling precise security modeling and faster security-oriented decision-making for enterprise deployments.
