Find the unknown vulnerability
QL allows you to quickly perform variant analysis to find previously unknown security vulnerabilities. QL treats code as data allowing you to write custom queries to explore your code.
QL ships with extensive libraries to perform control and data flow analysis, taint tracking and explore known threat models without having to worry about low-level language concepts and compiler specifics. Supported languages include C/C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Python and more.
With Semmle, we are able to track down not only the most serious vulnerabilities, but also their logical variants in our entire codebase so we can shut them down before they shut us down.
