We’ve supercharged Semgrep Code’s Python support with new, framework-specific analysis capabilities. The engine now tracks implicit data flows in popular frameworks like Django, FastAPI, and Flask, providing accurate detection of impactful security issues (OWASP Top Ten) for nearly 100 common Python libraries.
For most SAST products, framework coverage starts and ends with rule support. Semgrep Code now has framework-specific analysis capabilities built into the engine, meaning it can reason about Python source code in the context of specific frameworks. This ensures that implicit flows are captured and analyzed effectively.
As a result, benchmarks show an 84% true positive rate for our updated Python support. For benchmark details, or to learn more about our new framework coverage in Python, read the announcement blog!
