Njsscan
njsscan is a semantic aware SAST tool that can find insecure code patterns in your Node.js applications.
#njsscan
njsscan is a static application testing (SAST) tool that can find insecure code patterns in your node.js applications using simple pattern matcher from libsast and syntax-aware semantic code pattern search tool semgrep.

#Python API
>>> from njsscan.njsscan import NJSScan >>> node_source = '/node_source/true_positives/sqli_node.js' >>> scanner = NJSScan([node_source], json=True, check_controls=False) >>> scanner.scan() { 'templates': {}, 'nodejs': { 'node_sqli_injection': { 'files': [{ 'file_path': '/node_source/true_positives/sqli_node.js', 'match_position': (1, 24), 'match_lines': (4, 11), 'match_string': 'var employeeId = req.foo;\n\nvar sql = "SELECT * FROM trn_employee WHERE employee_id = " + employeeId;\n\n\n\nconnection.query(sql, function (error, results, fields) {\n\n if (error) {\n\n throw error;\n\n }\n\n console.log(results);' }], 'metadata': { 'owasp': 'A1: Injection', 'cwe': "CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')", 'description': 'Untrusted input concatinated with raw SQL query can result in SQL Injection.', 'severity': 'ERROR' } } }, 'errors': [] }
#Configure njsscan
A .njsscan file in the root of the source code directory allows you to configure njsscan. You can also use a custom .njsscan file using --config argument.
--- - nodejs-extensions: - .js template-extensions: - .new - .hbs - '' ignore-filenames: - skip.js ignore-paths: - __MACOSX - skip_dir - node_modules ignore-extensions: - .jsx ignore-rules: - regex_injection_dos - pug_jade_template severity-filter: - WARNING - ERROR severity-overrides: express_xss: WARNING node_secret: ERROR
#Suppress Findings
You can suppress findings from javascript source files by adding the comment // njsscan-ignore: rule_id1, rule_id2 to the line that trigger the findings.
Example:
app.get('/some/redirect', function (req, res) { var target = req.param("target"); res.redirect(target); // njsscan-ignore: express_open_redirect });
#CI/CD Integrations
You can enable njsscan in your CI/CD or DevSecOps pipelines.
#Github Action
Add the following to the file .github/workflows/njsscan.yml.
name: njsscan on: push: branches: [ master, main ] pull_request: branches: [ master, main ] jobs: njsscan: runs-on: ubuntu-latest name: njsscan check steps: - name: Checkout the code uses: actions/checkout@v7 - uses: actions/setup-python@v7 with: python-version: '3.12' - name: nodejsscan scan id: njsscan uses: ajinabraham/njsscan-action@master with: args: '.'
Example: dvna with njsscan github action
#Github Code Scanning Integration
Add the following to the file .github/workflows/njsscan_sarif.yml.
name: njsscan sarif on: push: branches: [ master, main ] pull_request: branches: [ master, main ] jobs: njsscan: runs-on: ubuntu-latest name: njsscan code scanning steps: - name: Checkout the code uses: actions/checkout@v7 - uses: actions/setup-python@v7 with: python-version: '3.12' - name: nodejsscan scan id: njsscan uses: ajinabraham/njsscan-action@master with: args: '. --sarif --output results.sarif || true' - name: Upload njsscan report uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3 with: sarif_file: results.sarif
#Gitlab CI/CD
Add the following to the file .gitlab-ci.yml.
stages: - test njsscan: image: python:3.12 stage: test before_script: - pip3 install --upgrade njsscan script: - njsscan . --gitlab-sast -o gl-sast-report.json artifacts: reports: sast: gl-sast-report.json
Example command (local):
njsscan . --gitlab-sast -o gl-sast-report.json
This writes a native GitLab SAST report so findings appear in the Vulnerability Report / MR security widget without a SARIF converter.
Example: dvna with njsscan gitlab
