Static application security testing identifies vulnerabilities in source code before deployment. This Skill automates code analysis using tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, and SonarQube to find flaws such as SQL injection and hardcoded secrets early in the secure SDLC.

Run Semgrep security scans on your source code by executing default security audit rules against your current directory. This performs comprehensive code analysis to identify common security flaws like SQL injection and insecure configurations.

This SAST scanning approach works with both Semgrep and SonarQube, alongside CodeQL. It supports integrating these tools to perform comprehensive code analysis and address secure SDLC requirements across different scanning environments.

SAST tools identify security flaws in source code such as SQL injection, hardcoded secrets, and insecure configurations. They perform static analysis to detect these vulnerabilities early, reducing the risk of security breaches and compliance failures.

You can implement security gates for code review automation using CodeQL to scan source code changes. This addresses secure SDLC requirements by blocking vulnerable code from deployment during the CI/CD integration process.
