pyre-check VS bandit

Did you come across pyre in your search? MIT license and pretty fast.

Pyre is a performant type-checker developed by Facebook. Pyre can analyse codebases with millions of lines of code incrementally – providing instantaneous feedback to developers as they write code.

Pyre from Meta, pyright from Microsoft and PyType from Google provide additional assistance. They can 'infer' types based on code flow and existing types within the code.

Have you seen Pyre[0]? Not Rust, OCaml, and pretty fast. Made by a team at Meta and open sourced on GitHub. If you use python-lsp, I wrote an extension[1] to enable integration (though I haven't tested it recently, been programming in rust; it is mostly a "for me" extension).

Internally we use Pyre for Python type checking: https://github.com/facebook/pyre-check

Before type hinting, work had intense rules and linters enforcing docstrings with types. Now, type hints and automatic pyre runs take care of all the heavy lifting.

Python now has an optional type system and if you add one of them such as mypy or pyre to your CI process and you can configure GitHub to refuse the pull request until types are added you can make it somewhat strongly typed.

If you have a preexisting codebase I believe the way you can convert it is to add the types that you know on commits and eventually you will have enough types that adding the missing ones should be easy. For the missing ones Any is a good choice.

https://pyre-check.org and https://github.com/python/mypy are popular.

Bandit is a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code. It was developed by the OpenStack Security Project and is a great addition to any serious Python project.

For the SAST stage, I used SonarQube tool. SonarQube is an open-source platform developed by SonarSource for continuous inspection of code quality to perform automatic reviews with static analysis of code to detect bugs and code smells on more than 30 programming languages. I preferred SonarQube instead of other SAST tools because it has a detailed documentation and plugins about integration with Jenkins and SonarQube works with Java projects pretty well. Of course you can similar multi-language-supported tools such as Semgrep or language-specific tools such as Bandit.

On the other hand, Bandit is a dedicated security scanner designed to target critical security concerns such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting exploits. It meticulously scrutinizes the codebase to identify and alert developers about possible security breaches or vulnerabilities, thus fortifying the code against potential exploitation.

Bandit: is a tool designed for Python applications to analyse your code for potential security issues like insecure use of functions, hardcoded password and much more.
