2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
6 stars6 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for code vulnerability analysis across multiple languages and frameworks

SAST Security Plugin

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for comprehensive code vulnerability detection across multiple languages, frameworks, and security patterns.

Capabilities

Multi-language SAST: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Ruby, PHP, Go, Rust
Tool integration: Bandit, Semgrep, ESLint Security, SonarQube, CodeQL, PMD, SpotBugs, Brakeman, gosec, cargo-clippy
Vulnerability patterns: SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, path traversal, IDOR, CSRF, insecure deserialization
Framework analysis: Django, Flask, React, Express, Spring Boot, Rails, Laravel
Custom rule authoring: Semgrep pattern development for organization-specific security policies

Use this skill when

Use for code review security analysis, injection vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, framework-specific patterns, custom security policy enforcement, pre-deployment validation, legacy code assessment, and compliance (OWASP, PCI-DSS, SOC2).

Specialized tools: Use security-secrets.md for advanced credential scanning, security-owasp.md for Top 10 mapping, security-api.md for REST/GraphQL endpoints.

Do not use this skill when

You only need runtime testing or penetration testing
You cannot access the source code or build outputs
The environment forbids third-party scanning tools

Instructions

Identify the languages, frameworks, and scope to scan.
Select SAST tools and configure rules for the codebase.
Run scans in CI or locally with reproducible settings.
Triage findings, prioritize by severity, and propose fixes.

Safety

Avoid uploading proprietary code to external services without approval.
Require review before enabling auto-fix or blocking releases.

SAST Tool Selection

Python: Bandit

# Installation & scan
pip install bandit
bandit -r . -f json -o bandit-report.json
bandit -r . -ll -ii -f json  # High/Critical only

Configuration: .bandit

exclude_dirs: ['/tests/', '/venv/', '/.tox/', '/build/']
tests: [B201, B301, B302, B303, B304, B305, B307, B308, B312, B323, B324, B501, B502, B506, B602, B608]
skips: [B101]

JavaScript/TypeScript: ESLint Security

npm install --save-dev eslint @eslint/plugin-security eslint-plugin-no-secrets
eslint . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx --format json > eslint-security.json

Configuration: .eslintrc-security.json

Vulnerability Patterns

SQL Injection

VULNERABLE: String formatting/concatenation with user input in SQL queries

SECURE:

# Parameterized queries
cursor.exec
