What problem does it solve?

Semgrep provides fast, accessible static analysis to identify security vulnerabilities and coding issues directly in codebases, reducing manual review time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quick Scan: Auto-detects or uses curated rule sets to find common vulnerability patterns.
  • Rulesets & Custom Rules: Write YAML-based rules to enforce standards and catch bugs specific to your codebase.
  • CI/CD Integration: Run semantic analysis in pipelines using SARIF/JSON outputs for automated checks.
  • Data-Flow (Taint) Analysis: Track data flow to identify potential insecure usage and injection points.
  • Use Case: Imagine scanning a Python project to locate hard-coded secrets and risky API usages.

Quick Start

Install Semgrep via pip, Homebrew, or Docker, then run a first scan with automatic configuration on your codebase. For example: semgrep --config auto .
