SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Semgrep-based analysis reduces the overhead of manually inspecting code for security flaws and quality issues by producing a structured, prioritized plan of fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect language and apply recommended Semgrep rules to identify security and quality issues across a codebase.
  • Output findings with details like Rule IDs, severities, and locations, enabling rapid triage and remediation.
  • Generate a prioritized fix plan for teams, integrating with CI workflows and quality gates to improve release readiness.
  • Use cases include securing web apps, hardening dependencies, and improving coding standards in multi-language repositories.

Quick Start

Run /semgrep-analyze on your project to begin a security and quality assessment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate static analysis for security and code quality in CI?

Automate static analysis in CI by running Semgrep to scan codebases, identify security and quality issues, and output a prioritized fix plan with rule IDs, severities, and locations. This integrates into PR reviews or quality gates to improve release readiness.

What is a prioritized fix plan for code security findings?

A prioritized fix plan for code security findings structures Semgrep results by severity and location, enabling rapid triage and remediation of vulnerabilities and quality issues across multi-language repositories.

Does Semgrep static analysis work with Python and JavaScript repositories?

Yes, Semgrep static analysis works with Python and JavaScript repositories, as well as TypeScript and other languages. It auto-detects the language and applies recommended rules to identify security and quality issues.

Do I need Semgrep installed locally to generate a fix plan?

Yes, you need Semgrep installed locally or in your CI environment to generate a fix plan. Optional configurations can be applied, but the core requirement is having the Semgrep engine available to execute the automated analysis.

What is the best way to triage security vulnerabilities during PR reviews?

The best way to triage vulnerabilities during PR reviews is using Semgrep to output structured results including rule IDs, severities, locations, and suggested fixes, enabling rapid assessment and remediation before merging code.

What are the limitations of using Semgrep for codebase security analysis?

Limitations of using Semgrep for codebase security analysis include relying on predefined rules and pattern matching to produce structured findings rather than deep execution analysis, requiring manual triage for complex vulnerabilities.
