Find Deeply Hidden Security Vulnerabilities with Deeper SAST by Sonar

What's this blog post about?

Sonar's innovative analysis technology, deeper SAST, detects deeply hidden code vulnerabilities by extending its taint analysis to cover the interaction of first-party code with dependencies. This enables unique insights into security side effects of dependent code and helps find vulnerabilities missed by traditional SAST and SCA tools. Deeper SAST evaluates all security-sensitive interactions between a project's code and its dependent code without any additional configuration or major performance overhead. A real-world example of a critical vulnerability in Jenkins, CVE-2024-23897, demonstrates the importance of deeper SAST for finding hidden vulnerabilities that can have significant consequences if left unaddressed.
