semgrep.dev
Semgrep is an extensible application security platform that scans source code to identify actionable security issues using AI-assisted static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and secrets detection. It combines rule-based and AI-powered analysis to reduce false positives and prioritize vulnerabilities for developers and security teams.
THE PRODUCT, BEYOND THE PITCH
Automatically researched · Not editorially reviewed · Sources checked Sep 14, 2026
A good fit for
- Development and security teams seeking to unify SAST, SCA, and secrets scanning into a single platform with AI-powered detection and remediation.
- Organizations wanting to reduce false positives and triage workload with AI that learns from code context and triage decisions.
Know the limitations
Not confirmed yet.
What you can do
- Detecting and fixing vulnerabilities in source code during development to prevent security issues before code ships.
Features
- AI-assisted static application security testing (SAST) that combines deterministic static analysis with AI reasoning to detect complex vulnerabilities including OWASP risks and business logic flaws.
- Software composition analysis (SCA) with reachability analysis to flag exploitable dependencies and reduce false positives in high and critical severity findings by up to 98%.
- Secrets detection using semantic analysis, entropy analysis, and validation to find hardcoded secrets and block unsafe merges by default.
- Automated remediation guidance that generates tailored fixes and upgrade instructions directly in pull requests and IDEs.
