Semantic SAST scanning

SAST scanning built for AI-generated code.

Cognium traces generated code paths with semantic SAST, then gives reviewers production-style proof: vulnerabilities found, spec checks verified, and noisy alerts reduced.

We read the code. We know what it does.

We read the code. We know what it does.

Find vulnerabilities across dependencies, code patterns, and injection risks. Cognium scans everything in parallel and returns proof reviewers can trust.

01

Flow-first detection

Track attacker-controlled input across functions, object fields, collections, templates, and sinks.

02

Framework-aware scanning

Model HTTP handlers, request objects, database APIs, encoders, and sanitizers used by real services.

03

Actionable output

Produce findings that explain source, path, sink, severity, and the safest remediation path.

Implementation

Where Cognium fits in the SDLC

Use Cognium locally, in staging CI, or as a merge gate for repositories where agents write production code.

Developer scan

Run the open-source scanner locally or in a branch workflow.

Pull request verification

Attach SARIF, risk summaries, and trust scores to every AI-generated PR.

Production gate

Block exploitable flows while letting clean changes move through review faster.

Comparison

How Cognium changes the workflow.

These pages are built for teams evaluating AI coding security, agent trust, and enterprise governance beyond basic scanner checklists.

Current approachTypical gapCognium approach
Legacy SASTLarge rule sets with noisy pattern matching.Semantic flow tracking tuned for generated code.
Code reviewHuman reviewer hunts through generated diffs.Reviewer starts with verified data-flow evidence.
CI checksPass/fail without business context.Findings become part of a trust score and policy decision.

Every PR scanned. Every vulnerability caught.
