Application security development tools can scan a wide range of code types, but they may not cover every possible scenario or language variant. Most modern security scanners support mainstream programming languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, PHP, and Go. They can detect vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, and insecure configurations in these languages.
For example, a static application security testing (SAST) tool can analyze source code during development to find security flaws before deployment. A dynamic application security testing (DAST) tool, on the other hand, tests running applications to identify runtime vulnerabilities. Some advanced solutions also support containerized environments and serverless functions.
In the cloud ecosystem, Tencent Cloud provides Code Security services that integrate with CI/CD pipelines to scan code for vulnerabilities. It supports multiple languages and frameworks, helping developers catch security issues early. Additionally, Tencent Cloud Container Security can scan container images for misconfigurations or malicious components, ensuring secure deployments.
However, some niche or proprietary languages may require custom plugins or manual reviews, as not all scanners are universally compatible.
