Runtime-powered SAST: The Future of Application Security Testing
Securing Applications Demands more than Static Analysis
Kodem Security's Runtime-Powered SAST introduces a groundbreaking approach, reshaping the application security landscape. Let's delve into how this innovative SAST solution revolutionizes vulnerability detection and mitigation.
One Product for SCA, SAST, and Container Security
Kodem's SAST solution (Static application security testing or static analysis) integrates seamlessly into its existing platform, extending its Software Supply Chain Security (SCA) and Container Security capabilities. This provides a comprehensive security solution covering:
- Human-Generated and AI-Generated Code: Automatically triage vulnerabilities across all code forms, including those written by developers and generated by AI.
- Third-Party and Open-Source Packages: Monitor vulnerabilities from dependencies and libraries, ensuring every layer is secure.
- Container Security: Constantly oversee the underlying container, providing end-to-end protection for the entire application stack.
Why Kodem’s SAST Solution Excels and How it is Different
We Pay Attention to Code, Build, OS and Memory
Kodem's SAST solution leverages runtime intelligence from the container, kernel, and memory to provide deep insights into the application stack. Application Security teams can know what vulnerabilities are loaded in runtime, contextualize relevance and impact, and confirm exploitability.
How Kodem’s SAST Solution Works
Three essential steps to utilize a runtime-powered SAST solution in complex applications built using various programming languages and frameworks.
1. Loaded in Runtime
Kodem's SAST solution actively monitors and analyzes the application's runtime environment, identifying vulnerabilities that are actively present and potentially exploitable during runtime. This real-time assessment enables proactive detection of security issues as they emerge within the running application.
2. Provides the Exact Line of Code and the Best Place to Fix
Beyond identifying vulnerabilities, Kodem's SAST solution contextualizes their relevance and potential impact by examining the application's codebase. This ensures that identified vulnerabilities are acknowledged and the specific line of code causing the vulnerability is also identified. In addition, source code samples are generated that developers can paste in to fix the vulnerable code.
3. Confirms the Vulnerability as Exploitable
Kodem's SAST solution employs a multifaceted approach to confirm exploitability. Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) are combined with real-time intelligence gathered from various sources, including memory, kernel (utilizing eBPF), and container environments. Simulating attack scenarios and thoroughly analyzing runtime behavior provide a robust confirmation of exploitability, empowering application security teams with actionable insights.
Supported Programming Languages
Kodem's SAST solution supports all major programming languages, including: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Ruby, Go, C, C++, C#, PHP, HTML, Shell scripting, YAML, JSON, and more.
Redefining Application Security with Runtime-Powered SAST
Kodem Security's Runtime-Powered SAST solution sets a new standard for application security, offering unparalleled precision and speed in detecting vulnerabilities. Protect your applications from code to container to infrastructure—all in one platform.
With Kodem's Runtime-Powered SAST, your application security strategy evolves to meet the challenges of today's dynamic threat landscape.
Don't just secure your code—secure your product.

Malicious Packages Alert: The Qix npm Supply-Chain Attack: Lessons for the Ecosystem
The npm ecosystem is in the middle of a major supply-chain compromise. The maintainer known as Qix is currently targeted in a phishing campaign that allows attackers to bypass two-factor authentication and take over their npm account. This is happening right now, and malicious versions of widely used libraries are being published and distributed.
Security Issues in popular AI Runtimes - Node.js, Deno, and Bun
Node.js, Deno, and Bun are the primary runtimes for executing JavaScript and TypeScript in modern applications. They form the backbone of AI backends, serverless deployments, and orchestration layers. Each runtime introduces distinct application security issues. For product security teams, understanding these runtime weaknesses is essential because attacks often bypass framework-level defenses and exploit the runtime directly.
Application Security Issues in AI Edge and Serverless Runtimes: AWS Lambda, Vercel Edge Functions, and Cloudflare Workers
AI workloads are increasingly deployed on serverless runtimes like AWS Lambda, Vercel Edge Functions, and Cloudflare Workers. These platforms reduce operational overhead but introduce new application-layer risks. Product security teams must recognize that serverless runtimes are not inherently safer—they simply shift the attack surface.
