Opengrep

Scan code for security vulnerabilities

You can use Opengrep to scan your codebase for security vulnerabilities and coding issues using static analysis. It's an open-source fork of Semgrep that provides inter-procedural analysis, cross-file analysis, and extended language support. The tool outputs results in JSON and SARIF formats, making it easy to integrate into your development workflows. It includes advanced features like meta-variables, fingerprinting, and cross-function analysis without requiring commercial licenses or login walls.
