Statica SAST Tool

Statica is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool for macOS and Linux.

Statica is designed to be used in situations where you can't compile the code, like:

• you're looking at .NET Framework apps, and you don't have a Windows computer
• there are binary dependencies you can't access
• the code doesn't compile

Statica will run other tools in the Homebrew ecosystem, and present a single report in console output or HTML.

Installing

Statica builds upon the Homebrew ecosystem. If you have homebrew working on your computer, just run:

  brew install simpsonjulian/statica-tap/statica

If you want to run Statica locally, then you'll need to install the following tools:

brew install semgrep \
    jq \
    retire \
    trivy \
    sarif \
    lizard-analyzer \
    checkov \
    pmd

You'll also want Ruby 3.0.0 or later installed to do the HTML.

Usage

statica <path to app source> [html|console]

• : The directory containing the source code to be scanned.
