Original Post: Using AI to write secure code with Semgrep
Semgrep is integrating GPT-4 technology to enhance its security tool, resulting in the creation of Semgrep Assistant. This AI-augmented beta offers triage suggestions and automatic code fixes directly within pull requests, showing promising early results. The company is experimenting with AI for various purposes:
- Triaging Vulnerabilities: GPT assists in labeling true positives, streamlining developer workflows by reducing the effort needed to verify findings and providing context that traditional engines may miss.
- Fixing Insecure Code: Semgrep utilizes GPT to suggest accurate remediation for identified vulnerabilities, thus saving developers time and effort.
- Writing Custom Rules: Users have reported success using ChatGPT to write Semgrep rules, indicating that GPT can facilitate creating or updating these detection patterns.
Semgrep invites users to join the waitlist for the private beta to experiment with these new capabilities and provide feedback.
