sast-configuration

SAST configuration integrates static analysis tools like Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL into CI/CD workflows to scan application code automatically. This Skill provides setup guidance, quality gates, and integrated patterns for automated scanning across multi-language codebases.

Developing custom SAST rules is supported through Semgrep configuration, allowing you to define vulnerability detection patterns across multiple programming languages. This Skill covers custom rule development to target specific security issues in your codebase.

SonarQube quality gates enforce security policies by analyzing security hotspots and blocking builds if vulnerabilities are detected. This Skill guides configuring quality gates and policy enforcement to ensure code meets security standards before deployment.

CodeQL can be used for deeper vulnerability research and integrated into workflows alongside Semgrep and SonarQube. This Skill supports cross-tool coverage and baseline assessments to provide defense-in-depth for multi-language codebases.

This SAST configuration approach explicitly supports multi-language codebases through Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL integration. It provides setup guidance and custom rules that apply static analysis across diverse application code environments.

SAST tools detect vulnerabilities in source code but require cross-tool coverage for defense-in-depth, as they may miss runtime issues. This Skill helps establish baseline assessments and integrate multiple static analysis approaches to mitigate limitations.
