Python frameworks and analyses

tip

Semgrep’s Python coverage leverages framework-specific analysis capabilities that are not present in OSS. As a result, many framework specific Pro rules will fail to return findings if run on OSS. To ensure full security coverage, run: semgrep login && semgrep ci.

Semgrep Code: Analysis capabilities for Python

  • Framework-specific control flow analysis
  • Inter-file analysis (cross-file)
  • Inter-procedural analysis (cross-function)

Coverage

Semgrep's coverage ethos: comprehensive and accurate detection of common, OWASP Top 10 issues in source code

In addition to rules, the Semgrep engine itself can analyze code and implicit dataflows in the context of the following supported frameworks:

Framework / libraryCategory
DjangoWeb framework
FlaskWeb framework
FastAPIWeb framework
In addition, Semgrep Code supports 100+ libraries & frameworks based on their overall popularity.

Benchmark results (exclusive of AI processing):

Our benchmarking process involves scanning open-source repositories, triaging the findings, and making iterative rule updates. This process was developed and is used internally by our security research team to monitor and improve rule performance.

Results as of September 9, 2024:

Benchmark true positive rate (before AI processing) for latest ruleset84%
Lines of code scanned~20 million
Repositories scanned192
Findings triaged to date~1000
