Find Vulnerabilities Before They Ship
bugs.ae SAST scans every commit and pull request — detecting injection flaws, hardcoded secrets, insecure patterns, and logic errors before they reach production. Every finding maps to UAE IA, DIFC ISR, and SAMA CSF.
You might be experiencing...
Every line of code your team ships is a potential vulnerability. Without automated static analysis, injection flaws, hardcoded secrets, and insecure cryptography patterns reach production undetected — until a breach or a DIFC ISR audit surfaces them.
bugs.ae SAST scans every commit and pull request against 300+ security rules, with findings mapped directly to UAE IA, DIFC ISR, ADGM, SAMA CSF, and NESA requirements. Not just finding vulnerabilities — finding them in the context of the compliance frameworks your auditors are checking.
What bugs.ae SAST Detects
Injection flaws are the most exploited vulnerability class in production web applications. SQL injection, command injection, XSS, and LDAP injection — bugs.ae SAST detects all of them at the code level, before the code ships. Every injection finding is mapped to OWASP A03:2021 and the corresponding UAE IA or DIFC ISR control reference.
Hardcoded secrets — API keys, database credentials, private keys embedded in source code — are a leading cause of cloud infrastructure breaches. bugs.ae’s Gitleaks integration scans every commit for 150+ secret patterns, alerting developers within seconds of a mistaken credential commit.
Insecure cryptography is ubiquitous in production code. MD5 password hashing, HTTP instead of HTTPS in API calls, weak TLS configurations, non-random IVs — bugs.ae flags them all. For DIFC ISR ISR-4 and SAMA CSF environments, cryptography configuration is a first-order audit concern.
Logic errors — missing authentication checks, improper access control, race conditions — require semantic analysis to detect. bugs.ae CodeQL integration performs data-flow and control-flow analysis to catch logic vulnerabilities that pattern-based scanners miss.
GCC Compliance Integration
Every bugs.ae SAST finding includes a compliance mapping column. When your DFSA reviewer or SAMA CSF auditor asks which vulnerabilities you’ve detected and remediated, you download your compliance report from the dashboard — not from a spreadsheet you’ve been maintaining manually.
Compliance frameworks covered: UAE IA, DIFC ISR, ADGM, SAMA CSF, NESA TRF, ISO 27001:2022.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration
bugs.ae integrates directly into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins via webhook and API. Configure PR blocking rules: Critical findings block merge; High findings require security team approval; Medium and Low are reported without blocking. Your development velocity stays intact. Your security posture improves with every release.

Deliverables
Before & After
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Time to First Scan | Manual code review: days | Automated scan: under 5 minutes |
| Compliance Coverage | OWASP Top 10 only (global tools) | OWASP + UAE IA + DIFC ISR + SAMA CSF + NESA |
| False Positive Rate | Legacy SAST tools: 40–60% false positives | AI-tuned rules: under 8% false positive rate |
Tools We Use
Frequently Asked Questions
What programming languages does bugs.ae SAST support?
bugs.ae SAST supports JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, C/C++, C#, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, and Terraform/IaC configurations. We continuously add language support — contact us if your stack isn't listed.
How does bugs.ae differ from GitHub Advanced Security or Snyk?
GitHub Advanced Security and Snyk are excellent global tools with no GCC compliance mapping. bugs.ae adds UAE IA, DIFC ISR, ADGM, SAMA CSF, and NESA mapping on top of the same underlying scanning quality — plus AED pricing, UAE data residency, and Arabic report support in Enterprise tier.
Does SAST scanning slow down our CI/CD pipeline?
No. bugs.ae SAST is designed for CI/CD integration with sub-3-minute scan times on typical codebases. Critical and High findings can block PRs; Medium and Low findings are reported without blocking. Thresholds are configurable.
Is our source code stored by bugs.ae?
bugs.ae performs scanning in-memory and does not persistently store your source code. Findings (vulnerability descriptions, file paths, line numbers) are stored for your dashboard. Enterprise tier offers on-premise deployment with zero data leaving your environment.
Which DIFC ISR controls does SAST map to?
SAST findings map to DIFC ISR controls including ISR-4 (Vulnerability Management), ISR-5 (Secure Development), ISR-6 (Application Security Testing), and ISR-7 (Security of Software Supply Chain). A full control mapping matrix is available in your compliance report.
