The first goal of the OWASP SonarQube Project is to a create a referential of check specifications targetting OWASP vulnerabilities and that can be detected by SAST tools (Static Application Security Testing). From there, the second goal is to provide a reference implementations of most of those checks in the Open Source SonarQube language analysers (Java, JavaScript, PHP and C#).

Any contributor is highly welcome to participate to this community effort and participating is pretty easy :
 * Each idea of a new potential valuable check should be sent to this project mailing list.
 * Then some discussions might start to challenge the idea
 * At the end of discussions, a specification of the check is created in the following JIRA project by one of the leader of this project : http://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/RSPEC.
 * To suggest a rule, send as much as possible from the following list:
 * description - What should be done/not done, and why
 * noncompliant code example in the language of your choice
 * remediation action - This can be as simple as "Don't do X."

The "News" is updated as soon as :
 * A check specification is created
 * A SonarQube analysers containing some stuff relating to this OWASP SonarQube project is released.

=FAQs=


 * How do I use the owasp-top10 tag?
 * Perform a rule search for tag=owasp-top10. If you have the proper permissions, you can use the bulk change options to activate the results in your profiles.


 * How to help ?
 * Give us your expertise on some langage, or ability to test on some real project our rules, or more...


 * Will you plan other langage ?
 * Yes, contact us if you want to know more. And perhaps give us some feedback one some real projects....
