OWASP Project Header.jpg

The first goal of the OWASP SonarQube Project is to a create a referential of check specifications targetting OWASP vulnerabilities and that can be detected by SAST tools (Static Application Security Testing). From there, the second goal is to provide a reference implementations of most of those checks in the Open Source SonarQube language analysers (Java, JavaScript, PHP and C#).

Any contributor is highly welcome to participate to this community effort and participating is pretty easy :

  • Each idea of a new potential valuable check should be sent to this project mailing list.
  • Then some discussions might start to challenge the idea
  • At the end of discussions, a specification of the check is created in the following JIRA project by one of the leader of this project : http://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/RSPEC.
  • To suggest a rule, send as much as possible from the following list:
    • description - What should be done/not done, and why
    • noncompliant code example in the language of your choice
    • remediation action - This can be as simple as "Don't do X."


The "News" is updated as soon as :

  • A check specification is created
  • A SonarQube analysers containing some stuff relating to this OWASP SonarQube project is released.

About SonarQube

SonarQube is an Open Source platform for managing code quality. This platform can be extended with Open Source or commercial plugins, see for instance the Java, JavaScript, PHP and C# plugins.

    • RSPEC-2258 "javax.crypto.NullCipher" should not be used for anything other than testing
  • 10 December 2014 : 2 new rules specified
    • RSPEC-2278 DES (Data Encryption Standard) and DESede (3DES) should not be used
    • RSPEC-2277 Cryptographic RSA algorithms should always incorporate OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding)

    • RSPEC-2254 "HttpServletRequest.getRequestedSessionId()" should not be used
  • 1 November 2014 : new "owasp-top10" tag in the "Rules" space to quickly search for OWASP Top 10 relating rules (mainly Findbugs rules)
    • RSPEC-2077 Values passed to SQL commands should be sanitized
  • 2 October 2014 : 2 new rules specified
    • RSPEC-2092 Cookies should be "secure"

    • RSPEC-2083 Values used in path traversal should be neutralized
  • 1 October 2014 : Matching most of the SonarQube rules to the MITRE CWE referential to ease the tagging of "owasp-top10" relating rules
How do I use the owasp-top10 tag?
Perform a rule search for tag=owasp-top10. If you have the proper permissions, you can use the bulk change options to activate the results in your profiles.


How to help ?
Give us your expertise on some langage, or ability to test on some real project our rules, or more...
Will you plan other langage ?
Yes, contact us if you want to know more. And perhaps give us some feedback one some real projects....

what is this project?
Name: OWASP SonarQube Project
Purpose: The OWASP SonarQube project aims to provide open source SAST using the existing open source solutions. SonarQube is one of the world’s most popular continuous code quality tools and it's actively used by many developers and companies.

This project aims to enable more security functionalities to SonarQube and use it as an SAST. This project will use open source sonar plugins, rules, as well as other open source plugins especially FindSecBugs and its security rules. FindSecBugs enables the taint analysis.
