joern-lib 0.4.0

Python library to interact with Joern server

Introduction

High level python library to interact with a Joern server.

pip install joern-lib

The repository includes docker compose configuration to interactively query the joern server with polynote notebooks.

Usage

Run joern server and polynote locally.

docker compose up -d

Navigate to http://localhost:8192 for an interactive polynote notebook to learn about joern server and this library.

Common steps

python -m asyncio

Execute single query

from joern_lib import client, workspace
from joern_lib.detectors import common as cpg

connection = await client.get("http://localhost:7000", "admin", "admin")

# connection = await client.get("http://localhost:7000")

res = await client.q(connection, "val a=1");

# {'response': 'a: Int = 1\n'}

Execute bulk query

res = await client.bulk_query(connection, ["val a=1", "val b=2", "val c=a+b"]);
# [{'response': 'a: Int = 1\n'}, {'response': 'b: Int = 2\n'}, {'response': 'c: Int = 3\n'}]

Workspace

List workspaces

res = await workspace.list(connection)

Get workspace path

res = await workspace.get_path(connection)
# /workspace (Response would be parsed)

Check if cpg exists

await workspace.cpg_exists(connection, "NodeGoat")

Import code for analysis

res = await workspace.import_code(connection, "/app", "NodeGoat")
# True

CPG core

List files

res = await cpg.list_files(connection)
# list of files

JavaScript specific

from joern_lib.detectors import js

List http routes

await js.list_http_routes(connection)

Name of the variable containing express()

await js.get_express_appvar(connection)

List of require statements

await js.list_requires(connection)

List of import statements

await js.list_imports(connection)

List of NoSQL DB collection names

await js.list_nosql_collections(connection)

Get HTTP sources

await js.get_http_sources(connection)
await js.get_http_sinks(connection)

AWS

Requires TypeScript project

await js.list_aws_modules(connection)

Troubleshooting

No response from server

If Joern server stops responding after a while restart docker.

docker compose down
docker compose up -d
