Original Post: Securing CodeQL queries with Semgrep
Semgrep introduces support for scanning CodeQL’s query language, allowing users to identify code patterns for security issues and code consistency. The integration was made possible through Semgrep’s use of tree-sitter technology to parse CodeQL queries and convert them into a common representation for analysis. Challenges included dealing with nuances in the CodeQL grammar, but ultimately Semgrep achieved a 99.999% parse rate for CodeQL, meeting the standards for generally available languages. This advancement in Semgrep’s capabilities provides developers with more tools to improve software security.
