Semgrep Code analyses
- Interprocedural analysis (cross-function)
- All analyses performed by Semgrep Community Edition (CE)
Coverage
Semgrep aims to provide comprehensive and accurate detection of common OWASP Top 10 issues in source code. Semgrep uses rules, which are instructions based on which it detects patterns in code. These rules are usually organized in rulesets. By default, Semgrep Code provides you with thep/comment and p/default rulesets. These rulesets provide the most accurate and comprehensive coverage across Semgrep’s supported languages.
Some examples of rules include:
- CWE-477: Use of obsolete function.
ptraceAPI is forbidden from iOS applications - CWE-327: Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm. Avoid MD2
Swift support in Semgrep Supply Chain
Semgrep Supply Chain is a software composition analysis (SCA) tool that detects security vulnerabilities in your codebase introduced by open source dependencies.Supported package managers
Semgrep supports the following Swift package manager:- SwiftPM
Analyses and features
The following analyses and features are available for Swift:| Reachability analysis | Reachability refers to whether or not a vulnerable code pattern from a dependency is used in the codebase that imports it. In Semgrep Supply Chain, both a dependency’s vulnerable version and code pattern must match for a vulnerability to be considered reachable. |
| License detection | Semgrep Supply Chain’s license compliance feature enables you to explicitly allow or disallow (block) a package’s use in your repository based on its license. For example, your company policy may disallow the use of packages with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC-BY-NC) license. |
| SBOM generation | Semgrep enables you to generate a software bill of materials (SBOM) to assess your third-party dependencies and comply with auditing procedures. Semgrep Supply Chain (SSC) can generate an SBOM for each repository you have added to Semgrep AppSec Platform. |
