Code Graph Analysis

Eliminate developer friction

Automatically hide likely false positives from developers. Present findings and fixes to developers in their native workflows with structural search, call graphs, and source-to-sink tracing.

RC4 (ARC4) Cipher Usage via cryptography Library

HIGH

Detects use of the RC4 stream cipher through the cryptography library's ARC4 algorithm, which has known keystream biases and is prohibited by RFC 7465.

Use of SHA1 Weak Hash Algorithm

HIGH

Detects use of SHA1 (crypto/sha1) which has a proven collision (SHAttered, 2017) and is deprecated by NIST for all applications through 2030.
