Reviewing Veridian Health Software's own static-analysis control with an adversary's eye across 900 repositories: the patient-search SQL injection the scanner flagged and a developer suppressed as not exploitable, now caught by a custom taint query through the in-house QueryBuilder wrapper, with every suppression needing a reviewer, a reason and an expiry; a gap test showing 6 of 22 confirmed production flaws had no rule that could fire, closed by adding a Go analyser, scanning submodules, scheduling full scans and catching benign seeded tests; and the eight-step analysis staircase from blind spots and coverage up through rules, suppression, placement, gap testing and correlation to assurance.

SAST Adversary-Aware Review — The Analysis Staircase

An expert-level course that reviews an organisation's own static-analysis control the way someone trying to slip a vulnerability past it would look for gaps. Climb the analysis staircase across eight steps — visibility limits, coverage fidelity, rule quality, suppression governance, pipeline placement, adversary-aware gap testing with seeded code, correlation with SCA/DAST/runtime, and metrics/assurance — using real, defensive commands against your own scanner, rules, suppressions, branch protection, and evidence, strictly against your own authorised repositories.

What you'll learn

  • Map a SAST engine's real taint-analysis, interprocedural, and framework-modelling limits, and catalogue its structural false negatives.
  • Audit and close real coverage gaps across languages, frameworks, monorepos, submodules, vendored code, and build-time transformations.
  • Engineer, unit-test, and version custom queries that model an organisation's own sinks and sanitisers, closing proven rule gaps.
  • Correlate SAST findings with SCA, DAST, and runtime evidence to confirm reachability and exploitability, and prove the control with metrics mapped to SSDF, PCI DSS 6.2/6.3, and NIS2.
