You can integrate SAST into GitHub Actions by running a workflow that automates CodeQL and Semgrep security scanning. This setup continuously detects vulnerabilities on pull requests and pushes to secure your CI/CD pipelines.

Yes, you can use CodeQL and Semgrep together for vulnerability detection in GitHub Actions. The integration automates both tools to scan your code, allowing custom rule sets and false positive suppression to manage security alerts.

Yes, you need a Semgrep account to automate SAST scanning with this configuration. The integration requires both GitHub Actions and an active Semgrep account to run the automated security tests successfully.

You can block pull request merges with high-severity vulnerabilities by implementing SAST quality gates in GitHub Actions. This configuration enforces security standards by preventing merges when high-severity issues are detected during the CodeQL or Semgrep scans.

You can upload SARIF files from CodeQL and Semgrep scans in GitHub Actions using the upload-sarif action. This step processes the vulnerability detection results and integrates them into your repository's security alerts.

The best way to configure custom SAST rules and suppress false positives in GitHub Actions is through the integrated SAST workflow. This approach allows you to define custom rule sets for CodeQL and Semgrep, reducing noise in your security alerts.
