Taint Analysis

Tracking untrusted user input with data flow analysis across the entire codebase, identifying injection and other critical security vulnerabilities

Learn More >

Advanced SAST

Advanced SAST extends taint analysis to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your code's interactions with third-party code from dependencies that traditional tools fail to detect

Learn More >

SCA

Software Composition Analysis scans third-party dependencies for vulnerabilities, ensuring open-source components don't introduce risks

Learn More >

Secrets Detection

Secrets in your source code, when leaked, expose you to a security vulnerability due to illicit access to your private data and services

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Automatically detect vulnerabilities before they reach production with our powerful SAST solution. Our SAST technology identifies hundreds of different types of security issues that are meaningful and relevant—all during development.

  • Supports the most widely used programming languages including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP, C, C++, C#, and more
  • Integrates with your IDE and CI/CD pipeline for seamless security checks
  • Includes detailed remediation guidance and AI CodeFix to help developers fix issues quickly
  • Create custom rules to enforce organization-specific security policies

Taint Analysis

Our taint analysis engine tracks complex data flow through the layers of your application code to identify potential security vulnerabilities from untrusted sources to sensitive sinks.

  • Detection of SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, Deserialization, and other injection vulnerabilities
  • Highly sophisticated and accurate data flow analysis cross-function and cross-file to reduce false positives
  • Framework-aware scanning that understands security controls in popular frameworks

Advanced SAST

Our advanced static analysis capabilities go beyond traditional SAST to discover deeply hidden security vulnerabilities with fewer false positives. Advanced SAST helps identify deeper and more complex vulnerabilities due to the interaction of your application code with third-party (open-source) code.

  • External dependency-aware SAST analysis that understands flow between source and sinks
  • Cross-file taint analysis that goes deep into third-party libraries for detecting hard to find vulnerabilities
  • Does not require configuration and has no overhead, despite fast and accurate analysis
  • Available for Java, C#, JavaScript, and TypeScript

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

By analyzing software supply chains, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring license compliance, teams can proactively secure their codebase and reduce risks associated with third-party dependencies.

  • Vulnerability Identification: Streamlined processes for tracking, managing, and mitigating third-party vulnerabilities (including CVEs) in third-party open source dependencies
  • License Compliance: Ensuring that all incorporated components meet the organization’s policies for allowed software licenses
  • SBOM (Software Bill of Materials): Detailed inventories that help teams understand, manage, and report on the composition of their code

Secrets Detection

Prevent accidental exposure of sensitive information with our comprehensive secrets detection capabilities. SonarQube can find secrets in source code in your IDE using SonarQube for IDE and also detect them in your CI/CD pipeline using SonarQube (Server and Cloud).

  • Detection of API keys, passwords, tokens, and other sensitive data using hundreds of rules and secrets patterns that cover all popular technologies and providers
  • Detect secrets using a powerful combination of regular expressions and semantic analysis
  • Custom pattern detection for organization-specific secrets for private services
  • Detect secrets in your code directly in the IDE, preventing them from ever entering your repository

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Scanning

Find security misconfigurations in your infrastructure as code (IaC) to ensure secure production environments.

  • Support for Terraform, CloudFormation,  Azure Resource Manager, Kubernetes manifests, and Ansible
  • Detection of misconfigurations and security risks in infrastructure definitions
  • Receive actionable, highly-precise analysis results
