Semgrep Code

Semgrep Code is a lightning-fast, developer-first static application security testing (SAST) solution designed to discover and eliminate code-level security vulnerabilities, logical flaws, and insecure dependencies directly within software development workflows. Unlike traditional SAST engines that require lengthy build steps and generate noisy alert backlogs, Semgrep Code scans uncompiled source code in seconds, making it ideal for integration into pull requests and automated CI/CD pipelines. Semgrep Code utilizes semantic pattern matching that looks like real code syntax, allowing engineers to identify complex security vulnerabilities—such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure deserialization, command execution, and broken authorization logic—with high accuracy. The solution features an extensive, continuously updated registry of enterprise and community rules curated by top security researchers, covering OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and language-specific weaknesses across modern frameworks. Security engineers can also author custom rules in minutes using straightforward syntax to enforce architectural standards or prevent recurring bugs. By delivering instantaneous, inline code review feedback directly in pull requests, Semgrep Code prevents security debt, educates developers on secure coding patterns, and secures continuous software delivery pipelines.
