CodeSonar
CodeSonar is AdaCore’s static application security testing solution for finding security and quality defects in source code and compiled binaries. It supports C/C++, Java, C#, Kotlin, Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript and TypeScript. Abstract interpretation and symbolic execution examine feasible execution paths across procedures and modules. Binary analysis covers mixed-language environments and cases where source is unavailable. Security coverage includes OWASP Top 10, SANS/CWE 25, SEI CERT C/C++ and DISA STIG; coding standards include MISRA-C, MISRA-C++, AUTOSAR C++, JSF++ and CERT. Integrations include Visual Studio, GitLab, Jira, Jenkins and VS Code, alongside project-management, CI/CD and IDE workflows. Pull-request scans, custom security rules and report exports to PDF, HTML or XML are supported. AdaCore offers on-premises, air-gapped and private-cloud deployment. The tool runs on supported 64-bit Windows and Linux distributions with glibc 2.39 or higher. Pricing is on request, with a trial available.
