Joern is a platform for analyzing source code, bytecode, and binary executables. It generates code property graphs (CPGs), a graph representation of code for cross-language code analysis. Code property graphs are stored in a custom graph database. This allows code to be mined using search queries formulated in a Scala-based domain-specific query language. Joern is developed with the goal of providing a useful tool for vulnerability discovery and research in static program analysis.
Features
- Joern allows importing code even if a working build environment cannot be supplied or parts of the code are missing
- Joern creates semantic code property graphs from the fuzzy parser output and stores them in an in-memory graph database
- SCPGs are a language-agnostic intermediate representation of code designed for query-based code analysis
- Joern provides a taint-analysis engine that allows the propagation of attacker-controlled data in the code to be analyzed statically
- Joern offers a strongly-typed Scala-based extensible query language for code analysis based on Gremlin-Scala
- Code property graphs are multi-layered, offering information about code on different levels of abstraction
