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.

Security rules that grow with threats

Protect your code with an ever-growing set of security rules covering OWASP Top 10, CVEs, and framework-specific vulnerabilities.

Avoid apt-get upgrade

MEDIUM

Avoid apt-get upgrade in Dockerfiles. Use specific base image versions instead.

Using Host IPC Mode

MEDIUM

Service uses host IPC namespace. Container shares inter-process communication with host.

Python Reverse Shell Pattern Detected

CRITICAL

Reverse shell pattern detected using socket connections with subprocess or exec(). This is a strong indicator of malicious code or a backdoor.

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.

Container Running as Root - Missing USER

HIGH

Dockerfile does not specify USER instruction. Container will run as root by default, which increases the attack surface if the container is compromised.

Using Host PID Mode

HIGH

Service uses host PID namespace. Container can see and potentially signal host processes.
