Abstract

In order to effectively analyze the security threat of web application, the security threat model of web application is established. Firstly, the main problems with web application are summarized. Secondly, the main security threat of web application are analyzed, and the corresponding optimization model is constructed. An algorithm based on the improved Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) security threat optimization model is designed. Finally, a SQL injection loophole is selected for example research, and the security threat path of web application is obtained. The results show IBOA has the advantages of high optimization accuracy, global optimization and stable solution, and average accuracy rate is 99.1% and the average recall rate is 99.1%, which shows that the model has better classification effect, therefore it has the best performance.
