Analyze Mode

Overview

• Analyzes a Checkmarx/CodeQL/Fortify/Snyk/SonarQube/Semgrep/Opengrep vulnerability report to identify issues that can be remediated automatically

• Produces the code fixes and redirects the user to the fix report page on the Mobb platform

Analyze Mode - Usage

Example

To get fixes for a pre-generated SAST report, run the Bugsy Analyze command. Example:

npx mobbdev analyze --scan-file sast_results.json --repo https://github.com/mobb-dev/simple-vulnerable-java-project

Bugsy will automatically generate a fix for each supported vulnerability identified in the results, and refer the developer to review and commit the fixes to their code.

Automatic PR

To enable automatic PR, make sure to enable --auto-pr flag in your npx mobbdev@latest analyze command. For example:

npx mobbdev@latest analyze --auto-pr --ci --scan-file $SAST_RESULTS_FILENAME --repo $CI_PROJECT_URL --ref $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME --api-key $MOBB_API_KEY

Scan (with Opengrep) and Fix Mode

Mobb CLI also supports a special scan and fix mode that uses Mobb's internal Opengrep scanner to automatically scan your repository and generate fixes without requiring a pre-existing vulnerability report.

How to Use Scan and Fix Mode

To activate scan and fix mode, simply omit the -f (scan-file) parameter from your analyze command. The CLI will automatically use Mobb's internal scanner to identify vulnerabilities and generate fixes.

Example

npx mobbdev@latest analyze -r https://github.com/antonychiu2/marinus-sm --ref main --api-key XXXXXX --ci

Notice that there's no -f or --scan-file parameter in this command. When no scan file is provided, Mobb will:

• Scan the repository using Mobb's internal Opengrep scanner

• Generate automated fixes for supported issues along with a fix report

Benefits of Scan and Fix Mode

• No external scanner required: No need to run Checkmarx, Snyk, or other SAST tools first

• Streamlined workflow: One command to scan and fix

• Built-in scanner: Uses Mobb's optimized Opengrep engine

• Immediate results: Get fixes without waiting for external scan reports
