Sighthound is a Tree-sitter based static vulnerability scanner designed for identifying security vulnerabilities in source code through AST-aware rules and taint-flow analysis. It supports multiple programming languages, executes scans in parallel, and offers output in various formats including JSON, CSV, and SARIF for integration with GitHub Code Scanning. Notably, Sighthound allows for custom rule packs and provides both pattern and taint mode analysis, catering to complex multi-file projects.
