Compare AppSec platforms
The #1 Semgrep alternative
Semgrep is excellent for fast rules and flexible policy authoring. Corgea wins when teams need deeper remediation, broader context, and a more complete AppSec workflow.
"Security only scales when it meets developers where they work. When it's embedded in the development workflow, it becomes a force multiplier. That's the model modern AppSec needs, and exactly why Corgea exists."

Results
Security that keeps up with code
Corgea surfaces high-impact issues and delivers consistently accurate fixes.
Detect and fix the undetected
Corgea detects business logic flaws that traditional scanners miss, including broken authentication, missing auth checks, and authorization gaps hidden in real application flows.
accounts_service.pyReplay
def close_account(request, account_id):
account = db.get_account(account_id)
if not request.user.is_authenticated:
raise PermissionError("Login required")
account.status = "closed"
db.save(account)
audit.log("account_closed",
actor=request.user.id, target=account_id)
Business logic flaw detected: missing authorization check before account closure.
-3x more true positives
-4x less false negatives
+-555% auto-fix accuracy
Prioritize what attackers can actually reach
From public routes like /login, Corgea traces real runtime paths to deep, exploitable risk.
It connects converging routes to the same weak point and maps impact to vulnerable code and vulnerable packages so teams fix the highest-risk issues first.
Developer Experience
Where agents and humans collaborate
Corgea reviews vulnerable code in pull requests, proposes safe fixes, and answers follow-up questions with implementation details.
Pull request #2487 api/auth/session.ts
const query = "SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = '" + sessionId + "'";
return db.query(query);
Corgea Agent bot commented on line 112
Suggested fix: parameterize the query and validate the identifier before execution.
-112 const query = "SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = '" + sessionId + "'";
+112 const query = 'SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = ?';
return db.query(query, [sessionId]);
Developer: Why is this fix safer, and what input validation should we enforce?
Corgea Agent bot: Parameterized queries separate user input from SQL commands, which helps to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.
