CoreTrace Python Analyzer
A standalone static security analyzer for Python. It finds injection vulnerabilities by following attacker-controlled data through the program, across functions, files, objects and closures, and judges each flow against the guards on its path; it reports dangerous API usage, secrets committed in sources and configuration, and vulnerable or forbidden dependencies, correlated with the code that reaches them. It runs offline, on a file or a whole project, with no runtime dependency.
pip install coretrace-python-analyzer
coretrace-python-analyzer --check src/ --format sarif > report.sarif
- Usage guide: command line, rules, report formats, dependencies and advisories, cache and parallelism, continuous integration.
- Writing a plugin: models for another framework, detectors for another rule, secret patterns and project-wide checks.
- Architecture: the engine's design and its migration plan.
The pipeline: source manager, parser-independent high-level representation (PyHIR), semantic resolution of imports and scopes, lowering to a small intermediate representation (PyIR), control-flow graphs, SSA, data-flow and abstract interpretation, interprocedural summaries, taint and refutation, then plugins and reporters.
Development
python -m venv .venv
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m mypy
python -m pytest
python -m ruff check .
The non-regression suite analyses the public repositories pinned in
tests/regression/repositories.toml and compares
findings and coverage with the snapshots in tests/regression/expected/. It clones on
first use, needs the network and runs in its own CI job:
python -m pytest -m regression
CORETRACE_REGRESSION_UPDATE=1 python -m pytest -m regression # record an intended change
