Code Pathfinder - Open-source SAST with cross-file dataflow analysis

Open-source SAST engine that traces vulnerabilities across files and functions

Website · Docs · Rule Registry · MCP Server · Blog

Quick Start

Install:

brew install shivasurya/tap/pathfinder

Scan a Python project (rules download automatically):

pathfinder scan --ruleset python/all --project .

Scan Dockerfiles:

pathfinder scan --ruleset docker/all --project .

No config files, no API keys, no cloud accounts. Results in your terminal in seconds.

What is Code Pathfinder?

Code Pathfinder is an open-source static analysis engine that builds a graph of your codebase and traces how data flows through it. It parses source code into Abstract Syntax Trees, constructs call graphs across files, and runs taint analysis to find source-to-sink vulnerabilities that span multiple files and function boundaries.

v2.0 introduces cross-file dataflow analysis: trace user input from an HTTP handler in one file through helper functions and into a SQL query in another file. This is the kind of analysis that pattern-matching tools miss entirely.

Cross-File Taint Analysis

Most open-source SAST tools operate on single files. Code Pathfinder v2.0 tracks tainted data across file boundaries:

app.py:5    user_input = request.get("query")     ← Source: user-controlled input
  ↓ calls
db.py:12    cursor.execute(query)                  ← Sink: SQL execution

The engine builds a Variable Dependency Graph (VDG) per function, then connects them through inter-procedural taint transfer summaries. When user_input flows into a function parameter in another file, the taint propagates through the call graph to the sink.

How It Works

Source Code → Tree-sitter AST → Call Graph → Variable Dependency Graph → Taint Analysis → Findings
                                     ↓
                              Inter-procedural
                              Taint Summaries
                              (cross-file flows)

Parse: Tree-sitter builds ASTs for Python, Dockerfiles, and Docker Compose files
Index: Extract functions, call sites, parameters, and assignments into a queryable call graph
Analyze: Build VDGs per function, resolve inter-procedural flows, run taint analysis
Detect: Python-based security rules query the graph to find source-to-sink paths
Report: Output findings as text, JSON, SARIF (GitHub Code Scanning), or CSV
