1. A method to reduce security vulnerability in association with a cloud-based static analysis security tool that is accessible by a set of application development environments, comprising:

  • associating a social networking platform with the application development environments, the social networking platform being accessible by users of the application development environments anonymously;

    prior to publishing a message received for posting from an anonymous user, filtering the message and, responsive to the filtering, automatically obfuscating sensitive data associated with a particular application development environment included in the message;

    receiving security findings generated as users of the application development environments use the cloud-based static analysis security tool;

    processing the received security findings into a knowledgebase; and

    providing social network content associated with the processed security findings from the knowledgebase as crowdsourced security knowledge generated from use of the cloud-based static analysis security tool by users of the application development environments.
