SAST for JavaScript: A Brief Overview of Commercial Tools

by Achim D. Brucker

Static application security testing (SAST) is a widely used technique that helps to find security vulnerabilities in program code at an early stage in the software development life-cycle. Since a few years, JavaScript is gaining more and more popularity as an implementation language for large applications. Consequently, there is a demand for SAST tools that support JavaScript.

We report briefly on our method for evaluating SAST tools for JavaScript as well as summarize the results of our analysis.
