NodeJsScan

NodeJsScan is a static application security testing scanner for Node.js application source code. Its detection engine uses libsast and Semgrep, and the project provides a web interface, command-line interface, and Python API through njsscan. A local setup runs the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:9090. CLI results can be exported as JSON, SARIF 2.1.0, SonarQube, DefectDojo, GitLab SAST, or HTML. The .njsscan configuration file lets users set scanned file types, ignored paths and rules, severity filters, and severity overrides. Documented CI/CD integrations include GitHub Actions, GitHub Code Scanning, GitLab CI/CD, Travis CI, and CircleCI. Alerts can go to Slack through a webhook or to email using SMTP settings. Teams can run a prebuilt Docker image or build the image locally. The project describes use in CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines. NodeJsScan is free and licensed under GPL-3.0. The current njsscan package requires Python 3.10 or newer and supports macOS and Linux; NodeJsScan version 4 onward dropped Windows support.
