Quick Start

pip install ansede-static
ansede-static src/                         # Scan a directory
ansede-static src/ --format sarif          # GitHub Code Scanning SARIF
ansede-static src/ --batch --workers 8     # Fast batch mode (shared cache, parallel)
ansede-static src/ --fail-on high          # CI gate
ansede-static src/ --incremental           # git-diff mode
ansede-static src/ --format html           # Interactive HTML dashboard
ansede-static . --openapi-report           # OpenAPI/Swagger route bridge report

Self-contained install: Zero external network or binary compilation dependencies. Operates as a completely self-contained execution package with single-binary distribution formats available. Just Python and rich for terminal output.

Why Ansede?

Ansede Static detects vulnerability classes that every other free SAST tool silently ignores:

Vulnerability	Bandit	Semgrep OSS	CodeQL	Ansede
SQL Injection	✓	✓	✓	✓
XSS	~ limited	✓	✓	✓
IDOR (CWE-639)	✗	✗*	~ manual	✓ AST-native
Missing Auth (CWE-862)	✗	✗*	~ manual	✓ AST-native
Ownership Bypass (CWE-285)	✗	✗*	✗	✓ AST-native
Route-level Auth Analysis	✗	✗	✗	✓ Built-in
Offline-First	✓	~ needs sync	✗ SaaS	✓ Fully offline
Zero External Network Dependencies	✓	✗	✗	✓ Offline-first runtime

*Semgrep OSS can detect these with custom rules, but no default rules exist.

@app.route("/invoice/<invoice_id>")
@login_required
def get_invoice(invoice_id):
    return db.execute("SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?", (invoice_id,))
    # → CWE-639 IDOR: any authenticated user can view any invoice
    # Bandit / Semgrep OSS: silent.  Ansede: CRITICAL

@app.route("/admin/users")
def list_users():
    return User.query.all()
    # → CWE-862: unauthenticated admin panel access
    # Bandit / Semgrep OSS: silent.  Ansede: HIGH

Features

Detection Engine

• 35+ CWE types — SQLi, XSS, IDOR, auth bypass, CSRF, SSRF, path traversal, code injection, hardcoded secrets, ReDoS, and more
• Interprocedural taint analysis — follows data flow across function boundaries
• Route-aware auth modeling — maps routes → guards → sinks → ownership patterns
• Symbolic guard suppression — recognizes if user.is_authenticated and @login_required to suppress false positives
• 5 language analyzers — Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, C# (+ Ruby, PHP experimental)
• Incident clustering — merges same-sink findings, reducing report noise by 49%
• VLQ source-map resolution — pure-Python decoder for minified JS

CI/CD & DevOps

• GitHub Action — native SARIF upload for GitHub Code Scanning
• --incremental — git-diff mode for sub-second PR checks
• --incremental-sha256 — SHA-256 cache for monorepo reuse
• --baseline — freeze legacy findings, only flag new vulnerabilities
• --fail-on — severity-gated exit codes for pipeline enforcement
• --batch — multi-path batch API with parallel workers

Output Formats

• SARIF 2.1.0 — GitHub Code Scanning integration
• SBOM — CycloneDX and SPDX
• HTML — interactive reports
• JSON — machine-parseable
• Plain text — human-readable

Intelligence

• LLM-assisted triage — local Ollama integration (no cloud) auto-classifies findings at 95.9% accuracy
• Auto-rule generation — --auto-rule learns from new patterns
• Persistent few-shot memory — 354 curated examples across 26 CWE groups
