Methods and systems for automatic correction of security downgraders includes performing a security analysis that disregards existing user-provided downgraders to detect flows that are vulnerable; locating candidate downgraders on the flows; determining whether each of the candidate downgraders protects against all vulnerabilities associated with each downgrader's respective flow; and transforming candidate downgraders that do not protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities, such that the transformed downgraders do protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities.
