semgrep-rules

powered by semgrep Join Semgrep community Slack

Welcome! This repository is the standard library for open source Semgrep rules.

In addition to the rules in this repository, the Semgrep Registry offers proprietary Pro rules that enable interfile and interprocedural analysis.

Using the Semgrep rules repository

To start writing and using Semgrep rules, see Learn Semgrep syntax and Writing rules. Then, run existing and custom Semgrep rules locally with the Semgrep command line interface (Semgrep CLI) or continuously with Semgrep in CI while using Semgrep AppSec Platform.

Writing Semgrep rules

See Writing rules for information including:

  • Pattern syntax, describing what Semgrep patterns can do in detail, and example use cases of the ellipsis operator, metavariables.
  • Rule syntax, describing Semgrep YAML rule files, which can have multiple patterns, detailed output messages, and autofixes. The syntax allows the composition of individual patterns with boolean operators.

You can also learn how to write rules using the interactive, example-based Semgrep rule tutorial.
