What is SAST? SAST stands for Static Application Security Testing. It scans your source code (without running it) to find security issues like: Insecure functions (eval(), system()) Bad input handling Hardcoded secrets (API keys, passwords) Access control mistakes 🧠 Think of it like a security-focused linter...
