Powerful Features Tailored for Apigee API Gateway Security
Flow-Sensitive Static Analysis
Experience unmatched precision with our flow-sensitive static analysis, a feature exclusive to CodeSent. This powerful tool evaluates your Apigee API Gateway proxies with an understanding of execution flow, ensuring that no vulnerability, no matter how deeply embedded, goes undetected.
For instance, consider the importance of removing the Authorization header before a request is sent to the target system. Our flow-sensitive analysis checks each flow individually to ensure this critical step is not missed, significantly reducing the number of false positives. You can see how this rule is applied in practice by visiting our detailed rule guide.
Comprehensive Flow Variable Analysis
CodeSent offers a sophisticated analysis of flow variables, giving you a detailed understanding of how data is manipulated throughout your proxy's execution. This feature helps identify potential data leaks, improper variable handling, and security gaps related to flow variable usage.
For example, the improper handling of flow variables can lead to security issues, such as when a private flow variable is mistakenly written into a public one. Our analysis meticulously checks the flow to ensure such sensitive data is not inadvertently exposed. To see how CodeSent addresses this issue, explore the relevant rule - Private flow variable is written into public one.
Data Tagging and Contextual Analysis
With data tagging and contextual analysis, CodeSent provides insight into how tagged data is used across different contexts, including sharedflows. This allows you to maintain tight control over sensitive information and ensures that data is processed according to your security policies.
For instance, handling user input improperly can result in critical security vulnerabilities, such as when user-controlled data taints the target.url variable. CodeSent's analysis detects such risks by tracing the flow of tagged data, ensuring it adheres to your security standards. To learn more about how this feature tackles such issues, refer to the Target URL tainted by user input rule.
SharedFlow Context Awareness
Our unique SharedFlow context awareness feature enables you to analyze proxies in conjunction with sharedflows, giving you a complete picture of how they interact. This ensures that your entire Apigee API proxy setup is secure and functioning as intended.
GitLab-Formatted Reporting
Integrate seamlessly with your DevOps pipeline using GitLab-formatted reports. CodeSent generates detailed reports that fit directly into your GitLab CI/CD processes, providing your team with the insights they need to address vulnerabilities swiftly and efficiently.
Automatic CVSS Scoring
CodeSent automatically calculates the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score for identified vulnerabilities, giving you an instant understanding of the severity of each issue. This allows your team to prioritize fixes based on the potential impact.
CWE Mapping
CodeSent is equipped with the capability to map identified vulnerabilities directly to the relevant CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) identifiers. This feature provides a standardized approach to understanding the security weaknesses present in your Apigee API Gateway proxies. By linking each detected issue to a specific CWE, CodeSent enables you to align your security efforts with industry standards and best practices.
Fix Suggestions
One of the standout features of CodeSent is its ability to not only identify the specific line of code where an issue resides but also, in some cases, provide actionable fix suggestions. This goes beyond mere vulnerability detection, offering you practical guidance on how to address and resolve the issue efficiently. By integrating these fix suggestions directly into your workflow, you can reduce the time spent on remediation and ensure that your Apigee API Gateway proxies adhere to the highest security standards.
