elttam's semgrep-rules
Welcome to elttam's public semgrep rules repository.
We regularly develop rules during our code-assisted security audits and software security research. We will be frequently adding new rules and improving what's here for the semgrep community. We hope product security engineers and code auditors who use semgrep find these useful!
If you find any bugs, please raise a GitHub issue.
Getting started
This guide assumes you are familiar with Semgrep and have it already installed.
This repo has split the rules into two broard categories:
rules/-- Rules useful for developers or AppSec teams, these are generally vulnerabilities.rules-audit/-- Rules useful for source code auditing, identifying intersting behaviour, and enumerating entrypoints, to augment manual source code review.
Test out this repo with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/elttam/semgrep-rules.git
To test out the rules, run:
semgrep --config semgrep-rules/rules semgrep-rules/rules/
To test out the audit focused rules, run:
semgrep --config semgrep-rules/rules-audit semgrep-rules/rules-audit/
Rules
These rules are focused on identifying vulnerabiltiies or other weaknesses.
| Rule Path | Language | Technology | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| generic/jsp-likely-xss | Generic | JSP | Detect XSS with unsafe rendering in template |
| go/lang/security/audit/executable-symlink | Go | Potential symlink takeover with os.Executable | |
| go/lang/security/audit/sprintf-plain-string | Go | Sprintf unescaped control characters | |
| go/lang/security/audit/uintptr-nonatomic | Go | Non-atomic use of converted uintptr | |
| java/lang/security/audit/crypto/gcm-static-iv | Java | Find GCM using same values for key and IV | |
| java/lang/security/audit/crypto/randomstringutils | Java | Apache Commons | Find RandomStringUtils using default java.util.Random, which is not suiatble for security |
| java/spring/security/audit/remoting/ | Java | Spring | Find use of Spring Remoting |
| php/php-filter-chain-read-from-oracle | PHP | Detect possible PHP filter chain error based oracle | |
| yaml/github-actions/security/save-state | YAML | Github-Actions | Find use of unsafe and deprecated ::save-state |
| yaml/github-actions/security/set-output | YAML | Github-Actions | Find use of unsafe and deprecated ::set-output |
| yaml/kubernetes/audit/network-policy-ingress-any | YAML | Kubernetes | Find container specs with NetworkPolicy with Ingress Permit ANY |
| yaml/kubernetes/audit/privileged-container | YAML | Kubernetes | Find container specs with security context privileged |
| yaml/kubernetes/security/allow-privileged-escalation | YAML | Kubernetes | Find container specs, including init containers, allowing privilege escalation (allowPrivilegeEscalation) |
| yaml/kubernetes/security/no-security-context | YAML | Kubernetes | Find containers specs, with no security context, considers pod or container security context. |
| yaml/kubernetes/security/run-as-non-root | YAML | Kubernetes | Find container specs, allowing running as root (missing runAsNonRoot), considers pod and container security context PR |
| yaml/kubernetes/security/run-as-non-root-unsafe-value | YAML | Kubernetes | Find container specs, explicitly allowing running as root (runAsNonRoot: false), considers pod and container secuirity context PR |
Audit Focused Rules
These rules are useful for aiding manual source code review by identifying interesting behaviour or enumerating entrypoints.
| Rule Path | Language | Technology | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| c/lang/security/audit/exec | C | Find execution of processes | |
| csharp/dotnet/security/audit/entrypoints/apsnet-controller | C# | ASP.NET | Find ASP.NET REST entrypoints |
| java/jackson/polymorphic-typing | Java | Jackson | Find polymorphic typing to aid in finding vulnerable Jackson deserialisation issues. |
| java/jackson/type-resolver-override | Java | Jackson | Find polymorphic typing using TypeResolveBuilder |
| java/jax-rs/security/audit/entrypoints/ | Java | JAX-RS | Find JAX-RS REST entrypoints |
| java/lang/security/audit/processbuilder | Java | Find execution of processes with ProcessBuilder | |
| java/spring/security/audit/entrypoints/ | Java | Spring | Find Spring REST entrypoints |
| java/struts2/security/audit/devmode/ | Java | Struts2 | Find the use of devMode |
| java/struts2/security/audit/dmi/ | Java | Struts2 | Find the use of Dynamic Method Invocation |
| java/struts2/security/audit/entrypoints/ | Java | Struts2 | Find Struts2 REST entrypoints |
| java/xstream/security/audit/fromxml | Java | XStream | Find use of XStream.fromXML(...) |
