Grepmarx is a web application providing a single platform to quickly understand, analyze and identify vulnerabilities in possibly large and unknown code bases.

Features

SAST (Static Analysis Security Testing) capabilities:

• Multiple languages support: C/C++, C#, Go, HTML, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, OCaml, PHP, Python, Ruby, Bash, Rust, Scala, Solidity, Terraform, Swift
• Multiple frameworks support: Spring, Laravel, Symfony, Django, Flask, Node.js, jQuery, Express, Angular...
• 1600+ existing analysis rules
• Easily extend analysis rules using Semgrep syntax: https://semgrep.dev/editor
• Manage rules in rule packs to tailor code scanning

SCA (Software Composition Analysis) capabilities:

• Multiple package-dependency formats support: NPM, Maven, Gradle, Composer, pip, Gopkg, Gem, Cargo, NuPkg, CSProj, PubSpec, Cabal, Mix, Conan, Clojure, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins HPI, Kubernetes
• SBOM (Software Bill-of-Materials) generation (CycloneDX compliant)

Extra

• Analysis workbench designed to efficiently browse scan results
• Scan code that doesn't compile
• Comprehensive LOC (Lines of Code) counter
• Inspector: automatic application features discovery
• ... and a Dark Mode

Execution

Grepmarx is provided with a configuration to be executed in Docker and Gunicorn.

Docker execution

Make sure you have docker-composer installed on the system, and the docker daemon is running. The application can then be easily executed in a docker container. The steps:

Get the code

$ git clone https://github.com/Orange-Cyberdefense/grepmarx.git$ cd grepmarx

Start the app in Docker

$ sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose build && sudo docker-compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:5000 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

Note: a default user account is created on first launch (user=admin / password=admin). Change the default password immediately.

Gunicorn

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. A supervisor configuration file is provided to start it along with the required Celery worker (used for security scans queuing).

Install using pip

$ pip install gunicorn supervisor

Start the app using gunicorn binary

$ supervisord -c supervisord.conf

Visit http://localhost:8001 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

Note: a default user account is created on first launch (user=admin / password=admin). Change the default password immediately.

Build from sources

Get the code

$ git clone https://github.com/Orange-Cyberdefense/grepmarx.git$ cd grepmarx

Install virtualenv modules

$ virtualenv env$ source env/bin/activate

Install Python modules

$ # SQLite Database (Development)$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt$ # OR with PostgreSQL connector (Production)$ # pip install -r requirements-pgsql.txt

Install additionnal requirements

# Dependency scan (cdxgen / depscan) requirements$ sudo apt install npm openjdk-17-jdk maven gradle golang composer$ sudo npm install -g @cyclonedx/cdxgen$ pip install appthreat-depscan

A Redis server is required to queue security scans. Install the redis package with your favorite distro package manager, then:

$ redis-server

Set the FLASK_APP environment variable

$ export FLASK_APP=run.py$ # Set up the DEBUG environment$ # export FLASK_ENV=development

Start the celery worker process

$ celery -A app.celery_worker.celery worker --pool=prefork --loglevel=info --detach

Start the application (development mode)

$ # --host=0.0.0.0 - expose the app on all network interfaces (default 127.0.0.1)$ # --port=5000    - specify the app port (default 5000)  $ flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000

Access grepmarx in browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Note: a default user account is created on first launch (user=admin / password=admin). Change the default password immediately.

• The web application dashboard is based on AdminLTE Flask
• SAST code scanning is powered by the semgrep engine
• SBOM generation is done with the great CycloneDX cdxgen, and SCA is performed using the awesome AppThreat dep-scan
• LOC counting is handled by scc
• Features discovery is done using Application Inspector
