SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Semgrep provides fast, rule-based static analysis to find vulnerabilities, enforce coding standards, and identify risky patterns across codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

Pattern-based vulnerability detection: quick scans with customizable rulesets for various languages.
Taint-mode support: track data flow to identify potential data leaks and injection points.
CI/CD integration: run in pipelines and generate reports (SARIF/JSON) for reviews.

Quick Start

Run a quick scan on your codebase with Semgrep to detect common vulnerabilities and generate a report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate static analysis to detect security vulnerabilities in my codebase?▼

Automating static analysis with Semgrep detects security vulnerabilities using pattern-matching and taint-mode rules. You can run quick scans across multiple languages to identify risky patterns and data flow leaks without compiling code.

Can I integrate static analysis scans into my CI/CD pipeline and generate SARIF reports?▼

Yes, you can integrate static analysis into CI/CD pipelines to generate SARIF or JSON reports. This automates security reviews by outputting structured vulnerability findings directly within your continuous integration workflow.

How does taint mode track data flow for finding injection points?▼

Taint mode tracks data flow from untrusted sources to sensitive sinks to identify potential injection points. It traces variables throughout the codebase to detect where user input could cause data leaks or security issues.

Do I need Semgrep installed locally to run custom security rules?▼

Yes, you need Semgrep installed locally or in your environment to run custom security rules. Once installed, you can write and apply custom pattern-matching rulesets to enforce specific coding standards during scans.

What is the best way to enforce coding standards across a small codebase?▼

The best way to enforce coding standards across a small codebase is using customizable, rule-based static analysis. Applying Semgrep rulesets allows rapid pattern detection to identify risky patterns and maintain consistency.
