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
Use this skill when
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.
Do not use this skill when
You only need runtime testing or penetration testing
You cannot access the source code or build outputs
The environment forbids third-party scanning tools
Instructions
Identify the languages, frameworks, and scope to scan.
Select SAST tools and configure rules for the codebase.
Run scans in CI or locally with reproducible settings.
Triage findings, prioritize by severity, and propose fixes.
Safety
Avoid uploading proprietary code to external services without approval.
Require review before enabling auto-fix or blocking releases.

Vulnerability Patterns
SQL Injection VULNERABLE : String formatting/concatenation with user input in SQL queries
# Parameterized queries
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", (user_id,))
User.objects.filter(id=user_id) # ORM
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) VULNERABLE : Direct HTML manipulation with unsanitized user input (innerHTML, outerHTML, document.write)
// Use textContent for plain text
element.textContent = userInput;
// React auto-escapes
<div>{userInput}</div>
// Sanitize when HTML required
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';
element.innerHTML = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);
Hardcoded Secrets VULNERABLE : Hardcoded API keys, passwords, tokens in source code
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get('API_KEY')
PASSWORD = os.getenv('DB_PASSWORD')
Path Traversal VULNERABLE : Opening files using unsanitized user input
import os
ALLOWED_DIR = '/var/www/uploads'
file_name = request.args.get('file')
file_path = os.path.join(ALLOWED_DIR, file_name)
file_path = os.path.realpath(file_path)
if not file_path.startswith(os.path.realpath(ALLOWED_DIR)):
raise ValueError("Invalid file path")
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
content = f.read()
Insecure Deserialization VULNERABLE : pickle.loads(), yaml.load() with untrusted data
import json
data = json.loads(user_input) # SECURE
import yaml
config = yaml.safe_load(user_input) # SECURE
Command Injection VULNERABLE : os.system() or subprocess with shell=True and user input
subprocess.run(['ping', '-c', '4', user_input]) # Array args
import shlex
safe_input = shlex.quote(user_input) # Input validation
Insecure Random VULNERABLE : random module for security-critical operations
import secrets
token = secrets.token_hex(16)
session_id = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
Framework Security
Django VULNERABLE : @csrf_exempt, DEBUG=True, weak SECRET_KEY, missing security middleware
# settings.py
DEBUG = False
SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('DJANGO_SECRET_KEY')
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
X_FRAME_OPTIONS = 'DENY'
Flask VULNERABLE : debug=True, weak secret_key, CORS wildcard
import os
from flask_talisman import Talisman
app.secret_key = os.environ.get('FLASK_SECRET_KEY')
Talisman(app, force_https=True)
CORS(app, origins=['https://example.com'])
Express.js VULNERABLE : Missing helmet, CORS wildcard, no rate limiting
const helmet = require('helmet');
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
app.use(helmet());
app.use(cors({ origin: 'https://example.com' }));
app.use(rateLimit({ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, max: 100 }));

Best Practices
Run early and often - Pre-commit hooks and CI/CD
Combine multiple tools - Different tools catch different vulnerabilities
Tune false positives - Configure exclusions and thresholds
Prioritize findings - Focus on CRITICAL/HIGH first
Framework-aware scanning - Use specific rulesets
Custom rules - Organization-specific patterns
Developer training - Secure coding practices
Incremental remediation - Fix gradually
Baseline management - Track known issues
Regular updates - Keep tools current
