Hi ,

We have application source code in Github and CI pipeline integrated with SonarQube running via Azure Pipeline.

Now with Github native security feature we are seeing alert

However the same through Sonar Scanner is not coming as Security hotspot or vulnerability. Could you please explain why there is a mismatch I am experiencing.

Hi Prasenjit and welcome to the community!

GitHub is warning you about a vulnerability in a dependency, so-called Software Composition Analysis (SCA). At this time we are focussing on Static Application Security Testing (SAST) though and do not provide SCA.

Welcome 🙂

if using Sonarqube on prem, you may try the community plugin (not supported by Sonarsource)

Hello from the future!

We recently announced SonarQube Advanced Security, which will include SCA capabilities. While it’s not available yet, we expect general availability for SonarQube Server in May 2025, and SonarQube Cloud Enterprise shortly after.

Please see this announcement for more details.

> Sonar is excited to [announce SonarQube Advanced Security](https://www.sonarsource.com/company/press-releases/sonar-extends-code-security-coverage-with-sonarqube-advanced-security/), extending SonarQube’s analysis capabilities beyond first-party and AI-generated code to include third-party open source code. With this, we’re delivering the first fully integrated solution for finding and fixing code quality and code security issues in the development phase of the SDLC. The first step in integrating Sonar’s recent acquisition of Tidelift, SonarQube Advanced Security strengthens a robust set of existing security capabili…
