Semgrep

Semgrep

Definition

Semgrep is a fast, open-source static analysis tool that uses pattern-matching syntax closely resembling the code being analyzed. Security teams write rules that directly express vulnerable code patterns, making it easier to create precise, low-false-positive rules compared to traditional AST-based tools.

Semgrep supports 30+ languages, runs in CI pipelines, and has a public registry of thousands of community and security-team-authored rules.
