benefits of deeper SAST

Find deeply hidden security issues

99% of software applications use and interact with the code in third-party libraries (dependencies). Deeper SAST from Sonar extends code analysis and scanning to cover the unknown parts of the code that are in the open-source dependencies. Scanning dependencies (libraries) allows Sonar SAST to extend the dataflow analysis and find deeply hidden security issues in code that other tools cannot find. Deeper SAST is available today for Java, C#, and JavaScript/TypeScript in SonarQube Server and SonarQube Cloud.

Security analysis

Designed to detect and fix a wide range of code issues that can lead to bugs and security vulnerabilities, SonarQube supports over 35 programming languages and frameworks. Sonar's security analysis can help detect a broad range of security issues, such as SQL injection vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting (XSS) code injection attacks, buffer overflows, authentication issues, cloud secrets detection, and much more. In SonarQube Server Enterprise Edition, Data Center Edition, and SonarQube Cloud Enterprise Plan, our security rules are classified according to well-established security standards such as PCI DSS, CWE Top 25, OWASP ASVS, OWASP Top 10, STIG, and CASA.

Security hotspots > code review

Security hotspots are instances of security-sensitive code that require human review. Developers can learn to evaluate security risks and improve their understanding of secure coding practices by working with security hotspots. Hotspots are surfaced in the IDE and pull requests with data flow context so teams can triage potential risks quickly.

Security vulnerabilities > code change/fix

Security vulnerabilities require immediate action. Sonar provides detailed issue descriptions and code highlights that explain why your code is at risk. Just follow the guidance, check in a fix, and secure your application. Quality Gates and CI/CD feedback help teams prioritize severity, map issues to OWASP and CWE, and accelerate remediation with actionable fixes using AI CodeFix.

Chase down the bad actors

Making sure user-provided data is sanitized before it hits critical systems (database, file system, OS, etc.) helps ensure your code security. Taint analysis tracks untrusted user input throughout the execution flow - across not just methods but also from file to file.

Sonar security & compliance reports

Security reports quickly give you the big picture of your code’s compliance with security standards. Available in SonarQube Server Enterprise Edition and Data Center Edition and in SonarQube Cloud Enterprise Plan, these security reports allow you to know where you stand compared to the most common security mistakes. Regulatory reports track the quality of each release and provide evidence that the code delivered meets the quality standards of the organization.

Reports include:

  • PCI DSS (versions 4.0 and 3.2.1) 
  • OWASP Top 10 (versions 2021 and 2017)
  • OWASP Mobile Top 10 (2024)
  • CWE Top 25 (versions 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021)
  • OWASP ASVS (version 4.0 with level 1 to 3)
  • STIG
  • CASA

Your end-to-end SAST tool

Seamlessly integrate static analysis into your software development workflow. Use static application security testing (SAST) scans that analyze source code with data‑flow and taint analysis (sources and sinks).

DevOps and CI/CD tools

Integrating SAST into the DevOps and CI/CD pipelines empowers organizations to enhance the security posture of their software and ensure that vulnerabilities are identified early in the software development lifecycle. Code security analysis tools become an integral part of the development process and receive early real-time feedback as they commit code changes.  SonarQube integrations are supported for popular DevOps and CI/CD Platforms including GitHub, GitLab, Azure Devops, TravisCI, CircleCI, and Bitbucket. SonarQube provides native support for the most popular SCMs including Git , Subversion and community support for other popular SCMs such as CVS, Jazz RTC, Mercurial, TFVC.

Pull request decoration

Get instant code review directly inside your pull request and development branches. Fix issues before they become problems, by detecting vulnerabilities and fixing security issues early in the software development life cycle (SDLC).

  • Implement a go/no-go quality gate to automatically fail CI/CD pipelines if code doesn't meet your standards
  • Review and prioritize code fixes directly within the DevOps Platform interface
  • Set up multiple quality gates for your monorepo with different projects to receive specific feedback messages for each project
  • Receive contextual guidance and remediation steps directly in your workflow, helping developers quickly understand root causes and apply the right fix the first time.

IDE Integration with SonarQube for IDE

  • Superior code quality tool capabilities right into developers’ code environments
  • Real-time analytical feedback
  • Code issue highlighting
  • Strict code quality standards, along with vulnerability issue details and remediation guidance
  • Customizable rules allow developers to code based on their specific requirements
  • Advanced flexibility allows developer adaptation and adoption across multiple supported languages

"The greatest impact it’s had has been that it has allowed us to focus our effort on making sure new code is clean instead of addressing technical debt, and it has given us the ability to standardize the quality of the codebase across the organization."
