integrating-sast-into-github-actions-pipeline
This skill covers integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools—CodeQL and Semgrep—into GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. It addresses configuring automated code scanning on pull requests and pushes, tuning rules to reduce false positives, uploading SARIF results to GitHub Advanced Security, and establishing quality gates that block merges when high-severity vulnerabilities are detected.

# Integrating SAST into GitHub Actions Pipeline
## When to Use
- When development teams need automated code-level vulnerability detection on every pull request
- When security teams require consistent SAST enforcement across all repositories in an organization
- When migrating from manual or periodic security reviews to continuous security testing
- When compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST SSDF) require evidence of automated code analysis
- When multiple languages coexist in a monorepo and need unified scanning under one workflow
**Do not use** for runtime vulnerability detection (use DAST instead), for scanning third-party dependencies (use SCA tools like Snyk), or for infrastructure-as-code scanning (use Checkov or tfsec).
