SAST Security Plugin

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for comprehensive code vulnerability detection across multiple languages, frameworks, and security patterns.

Capabilities

• Multi-language SAST: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Ruby, PHP, Go, Rust
• Tool integration: Bandit, Semgrep, ESLint Security, SonarQube, CodeQL, PMD, SpotBugs, Brakeman, gosec, cargo-clippy
• Vulnerability patterns: SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, path traversal, IDOR, CSRF, insecure deserialization
• Framework analysis: Django, Flask, React, Express, Spring Boot, Rails, Laravel
• Custom rule authoring: Semgrep pattern development for organization-specific security policies

When to Use This Tool

Use for code review security analysis, injection vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, framework-specific patterns, custom security policy enforcement, pre-deployment validation, legacy code assessment, and compliance (OWASP, PCI-DSS, SOC2).

Specialized tools: Use security-secrets.md for advanced credential scanning, security-owasp.md for Top 10 mapping, security-api.md for REST/GraphQL endpoints.
