Multi-Language Tools
Naxus - AI-Gents
There is a free package to review PRs.
Semgrep
It's an Open Source tool.
Supported Languages
Category | Languages |
---|---|
GA | C# · Go · Java · JavaScript · JSX · JSON · PHP · Python · Ruby · Scala · Terraform · TypeScript · TSX |
Beta | Kotlin · Rust |
Experimental | Bash · C · C++ · Clojure · Dart · Dockerfile · Elixir · HTML · Julia · Jsonnet · Lisp · |
Quick Start
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
# Install https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep#option-1-getting-started-from-the-cli
brew install semgrep
# Go to your repo code and scan
cd repo
semgrep scan --config auto
{% endcode %}
You can also use the semgrep VSCode Extension to get the findings inside VSCode.
SonarQube
There is an installable free version.
Quick Start
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
# Run the paltform in docker
docker run -d --name sonarqube -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:latest
# Install cli tool
brew install sonar-scanner
# Go to localhost:9000 and login with admin:admin or admin:sonar
# Generate a local project and then a TOKEN for it
# Using the token and from the folder with the repo, scan it
cd path/to/repo
sonar-scanner \
-Dsonar.projectKey=<project-name> \
-Dsonar.sources=. \
-Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 \
-Dsonar.token=<sonar_project_token>
{% endcode %}
CodeQL
There is an installable free version but according to the license you can only use free codeQL version in Open Source projects.
Install
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
# Download your release from https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases
## Example
wget https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases/download/codeql-bundle-v2.14.3/codeql-bundle-osx64.tar.gz
# Move it to the destination folder
mkdir ~/codeql
mv codeql-bundle* ~/codeql
# Decompress it
cd ~/codeql
tar -xzvf codeql-bundle-*.tar.gz
rm codeql-bundle-*.tar.gz
# Add to path
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/Users/username/codeql/codeql"' >> ~/.zshrc
# Check it's correctly installed
## Open a new terminal
codeql resolve qlpacks #Get paths to QL packs
{% endcode %}
Quick Start - Prepare the database
{% hint style="success" %} The first thing you need to do is to prepare the database (create the code tree) so later the queries are run over it. {% endhint %}
- You can allow codeql to automatically identify the language of the repo and create the database
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
codeql database create <database> --language <language>
# Example
codeql database create /path/repo/codeql_db --source-root /path/repo
## DB will be created in /path/repo/codeql_db
{% endcode %}
{% hint style="danger" %} This will usually trigger and error saying that more than one language was specified (or automatically detected). Check the next options to fix this! {% endhint %}
- You can do this manually indicating the repo and the language (list of languages)
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
codeql database create <database> --language <language> --source-root </path/to/repo>
# Example
codeql database create /path/repo/codeql_db --language javascript --source-root /path/repo
## DB will be created in /path/repo/codeql_db
{% endcode %}
- If your repo is using more than 1 language, you can also create 1 DB per language indicating each language.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_32849y23hij4...
codeql database create <database> --source-root /path/to/repo --db-cluster --language "javascript,python"
# Example
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_32849y23hij4...
codeql database create /path/repo/codeql_db --source-root /path/to/repo --db-cluster --language "javascript,python"
## DBs will be created in /path/repo/codeql_db/*
{% endcode %}
- You can also allow
codeql
to identify all the languages for you and create a DB per language. You need to give it a GITHUB_TOKEN.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_32849y23hij4...
codeql database create <database> --db-cluster --source-root </path/to/repo>
# Example
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_32849y23hij4...
codeql database create /tmp/codeql_db --db-cluster --source-root /path/repo
## DBs will be created in /path/repo/codeql_db/*
{% endcode %}
Quick Start - Analyze the code
{% hint style="success" %} Now it's finally time to analyze the code {% endhint %}
Remember that if you used several languages, a DB per language would have been crated in the path you specified.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
# Default analysis
codeql database analyze <database> --format=<format> --output=</out/file/path>
# Example
codeql database analyze /tmp/codeql_db/javascript --format=sarif-latest --output=/tmp/graphql_results.sarif
# Specify QL pack to use in the analysis
codeql database analyze <database> \
<qls pack> --sarif-category=<language> \
--sarif-add-baseline-file-info \ --format=<format> \
--output=/out/file/path>
# Example
codeql database analyze /tmp/codeql_db \
javascript-security-extended --sarif-category=javascript \
--sarif-add-baseline-file-info --format=sarif-latest \
--output=/tmp/sec-extended.sarif
{% endcode %}
Quick Start - Scripted
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_32849y23hij4...
export REPO_PATH=/path/to/repo
export OUTPUT_DIR_PATH="$REPO_PATH/codeql_results"
mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR_PATH"
export FINAL_MSG="Results available in: "
echo "Creating DB"
codeql database create "$REPO_PATH/codeql_db" --db-cluster --source-root "$REPO_PATH"
for db in `ls "$REPO_PATH/codeql_db"`; do
echo "Analyzing $db"
codeql database analyze "$REPO_PATH/codeql_db/$db" --format=sarif-latest --output="${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/$db).sarif"
FINAL_MSG="$FINAL_MSG ${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/$db.sarif ,"
echo ""
done
echo $FINAL_MSG
{% endcode %}
You can visualize the findings in https://microsoft.github.io/sarif-web-component/ or using VSCode extension SARIF viewer.
You can also use the VSCode extension to get the findings inside VSCode. You will still need to create a database manually, but then you can select any files and click on Right Click
-> CodeQL: Run Queries in Selected Files
Snyk
There is an installable free version.
Quick Start
# Install
sudo npm install -g snyk
# Authenticate (you can use a free account)
snyk auth
# Test for open source vulns & license issues
snyk test [--all-projects]
# Test for code vulnerabilities
## This will upload your code and you need to enable this option in: Settings > Snyk Code
snyk test code
# Test for vulns in images
snyk container test [image]
# Test for IaC vulns
snyk iac test
You can also use the snyk VSCode Extension to get findings inside VSCode.

Static Analysis
Unminimize/Beautify/Prettify
Deobfuscate/Unpack
Note: It may not be possible to fully deobfuscate.
- Find and use .map files:
- If the .map files are exposed, they can be used to easily deobfuscate.
- Commonly, foo.js.map maps to foo.js. Manually look for them.
- Use JS Miner to look for them.
- Ensure active scan is conducted.
- Read 'Tips/Notes'
- If found, use Maximize to deobfuscate.
- Without .map files, try JSnice:
- References: http://jsnice.org/ & https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsnice
- Tips:
- If using jsnice.org, click on the options button next to the "Nicify JavaScript" button, and de-select "Infer types" to reduce cluttering the code with comments.
- Ensure you do not leave any empty lines before the script, as it may affect the deobfuscation process and give inaccurate results.
- Use console.log();
- Find the return value at the end and change it to
console.log(<packerReturnVariable>);
so the deobfuscated js is printed instead of being executing. - Then, paste the modified (and still obfuscated) js into https://jsconsole.com/ to see the deobfuscated js logged to the console.
- Finally, paste the deobfuscated output into https://prettier.io/playground/ to beautify it for analysis.
- Note: If you are still seeing packed (but different) js, it may be recursively packed. Repeat the process.
- Find the return value at the end and change it to

Look for:
- Anti-debug loading
- Angular: enableProdMode
- Secrets
- Use:
- If API key found, check here for potential usage syntax: https://github.com/streaak/keyhacks.
- Vuln functions
- InnerHTML() - If you found this, it means there is a potential chance for XSS if no proper sanitisation takes place. Even if your payload is sanitised, don’t worry. Trace the code to find out where the sanitisation takes place. Study it and try to get around the sanitisation.
- Postmessage() - If you have read my previous post (https://medium.com/techiepedia/what-are-sop-cors-and-ways-to-exploit-it-62a5e02100dc), you would notice that Postmessage() might lead to potential CORS issue. If the second parameter of the function set to *, you are the lucky one. Checkout my previous post to understand more about the mechanism behind.
- String.prototype.search() - This function looks normal. Why would it be a dangerous function? Well, it is because some developers used this to find occurrence of a string inside another string. However, “.” is treated as wildcard in this function. So, if this function is used as sanitisation check, you can simply bypass it by inputting “.”. Checkout Filedescryptor’s hackerone report: https://hackerone.com/reports/129873
- Endpoints & params
- Use LinkFinder & JS Miner.
- Vuln libs & deps
- Cloud URLs
- Use JS Miner.
- Subdomains
- Use JS Miner.
- Logic Flaws
- Gain situational awareness:
use strict;
?
- Grep for client-side controls:
- disable, enable, hidden, hide, show
- catch, finally, throw, try
- input, validate, verify, valid, correct, check, confirm, require, ..
- Grep for non-primatives:
- function , =>
- class
- Gain situational awareness:
