AttackerView▲13Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

https://semgrep.dev/products/semgrep-app Hi! I work on Semgrep, an open-source project (discussed on HN previously [0][1)]. We’re one of those companies that maintain an OSS tool and a web app, and then monetize by selling enterprise features on said web app. Our free web app just went through a major revamp (sort of like a v1.0 release) so this feels like the perfect time to share and hear what the HN crowd thinks! Let me start with some backstory on Semgrep. Our team, r2c, has been experimenting with various ways to help organizations step up their application security…

I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD. I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink. Feedback is appreciated. The app, PRevent - https://github.com/apiiro/PRevent The ruleset: https://github.com/apiiro/malicious-code-ruleset The research:…

Hi HN, I’m Guillaume, the cofounder of Bearer, an Open Source SAST solution. After launching a few weeks ago here on Hacker News with support for Ruby and JavaScript stacks, I’m happy to report we’ve just released a new version (v1.2) with TypeScript support! In terms of code coverage, we use the same rules already implemented for vanilla JavaScript, but as usual, you can build your own. The rules list is here: https://docs.bearer.com/reference/rules/ It’s a first version for TS, but we believe that thanks to the pre-existing JavaScript support it should already…

This is a simple single-file python program that can find basic XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities in a target url. Most XSS discovery tools use a payload refelection strategy in which payloads are injected in url parameters and the GET response is inspected for places where the payload content is reflected. This is a very low precision XSS detection strategy because most reflection does not support execution. This program uses a different approach, and instead opens the target url in a browser, tests alert(...) payloads directly in the browser context, and listens for an alert being…

We're open-sourcing Sighthound today, our rules-based static security scanner. What makes it special is that it's coded in rust and uses tree-sitter as it's AST making it very fast and easily extensible. Why build another scanner in 2026? We wanted to improve some of our detection outcomes but noticed the current open source scanners like Semgrep/Opengrep we're capped by a bunch of adoption limitations such as being written in OCaml, requiring a lot of work to add a language parser, and the rulesets were licensed differently and required paid offerings. It also felt that licensing was…
