Qodana adds OpenGrep-powered security inspections for .NET and JavaScript projects

JetBrains' Qodana code quality platform now runs OpenGrep-powered security inspections against .NET and JavaScript codebases, layering hundreds of additional checks on top of its existing static analysis, dependency, and taint analysis capabilities inside the IDE, pull request, and CI/CD workflows teams already use.
For teams already running Qodana in CI, this is incremental coverage added to a tool they already trust, with the option to plug in custom or third-party OpenGrep rules for internal policies. Teams not on Qodana still gain nothing directly, because the OpenGrep layer ships inside the platform rather than as a standalone scanner. The release only names .NET and JavaScript as the targeted languages, and only one vendor-controlled feed carried the news, so independent benchmark data on detection and false-positive rates is not in the picture.

Qodana now runs OpenGrep-powered security inspections on .NET and JavaScript projects alongside its existing static code analysis, dependency inspection, license auditing, quality gates, and taint analysis.
The new checks cover SQL, command, and code injection, XSS, path traversal, SSRF, selected deserialization and resource-allocation issues, and unsafe data flows, with users able to supply their own or third-party OpenGrep rules.
Findings surface in the same IDE, pull request, and CI/CD pipelines as existing Qodana results, and the platform is positioned as deterministic static analysis rather than probabilistic AI-driven detection.
