New AI SAST analyzes source code across 15 categories and runs over 200 checks in minutes, using the OWASP WSTG methodology. It's included in the A42 Recon+Exposure platform subscription for all users at no extra cost .
A42 introduces AI SAST, an AI-powered static code analysis tool that scans source code for vulnerabilities, logic errors, and security issues across 15 categories and with more than 200 checks, completing a full analysis in minutes. Powered by the most advanced AI models available on the market and built on the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide methodology, AI SAST is integrated into the A42 Recon+Exposure platform and available to all subscribers at no additional cost.
To get started, development teams must connect a public Git repository or upload a ZIP archive — no configuration required. Scan reports are delivered in Markdown format, compatible with any AI development assistant for guided remediation.
"Some of the critical vulnerabilities found during penetration tests were already present in the code before deployment. They just weren't caught because code security scanning wasn't part of the workflow," said Serhii Saraichykov, A42's co-founder and CTO. "With AI SAST, continuous code security is no longer reserved for organizations with a dedicated security function. It is now accessible to any team before every deployment."
Security at the pace of development
The cost of remediating a vulnerability scales with how late it is found. A problem caught in source code takes minutes to address. The same issue found after deployment may require emergency patching, incident response and compliance review. AI SAST shifts discovery to the earliest possible point — before the code reaches production.
Teams can scan before every commit, dependency update and every deployment making security a continuous part of development, not a periodic checkpoint.
One scan — over 200 checks
AI SAST covers the OWASP Top 10 and beyond: injections, broken access control, authentication failures, sensitive data exposure, security misconfigurations as well as SSRF, CSRF, JWT vulnerabilities, ReDoS, race conditions, and other advanced vulnerability classes. Because analysis spans the full scope of the codebase, AI SAST detects second- and third-order flaws that emerge when newly integrated code interacts with existing components in unexpected ways.
In addition, coverage extends across logic bugs, performance anti-patterns, code quality, test coverage, accessibility, DevOps infrastructure, and exposed secrets in version control. AI SAST supports every major programming language and infrastructure-as-code format.
Part of A42's security ecosystem
AI SAST joins Recon+Exposure and AI Pentest ecosystem, covering the full lifecycle from source code through external attack surface to active exploitation testing.
A42 Recon+Exposure platform continuously monitors the external attack surface, detecting data leaks and vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
AI Pentest applies more than 100 GovTech and Defence Tech attack methodologies, delivering an enterprise-grade penetration test with a compliance-ready report in four days — available as a standalone engagement.
