Static Application Security Testing
Overview
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a methodology used to analyze source code, bytecode, or binary code to identify security vulnerabilities at the early stages of software development. SAST tools perform a thorough inspection of the codebase without executing the program, allowing developers to pinpoint potential security flaws before the application is deployed.
By leveraging SAST, organizations can proactively detect and remediate vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, and other common security threats. These tools provide detailed insights into code quality and security, often integrating seamlessly into the development pipeline for continuous monitoring and feedback.
Rules
Rules are essential for detecting security risks and vulnerabilities across your codebase, as well as for enforcing best practices. The Sec1 SAST Scanner enables rapid identification of rule violations within your code.
The built-in rules are designed to safeguard against the most critical security risks and vulnerabilities in your applications. These rules are accompanied by corresponding Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and OWASP references, providing clear identification and context for each detected issue.
Below are the set of language specific rules.
