AI security agent that hunts intent-based vulnerabilities such as broken access control and business logic flaws.
SonarQube Hunter Agent is an AI-powered security agent that finds logic-based vulnerabilities pattern-based scanning misses, including broken access control, IDOR, privilege escalation, business logic abuse, and authentication and session flaws. It explores the full codebase, builds hypotheses about where intent and implementation diverge, and validates each suspected vulnerability before surfacing it.
Confirmed findings arrive with severity, a plain-language explanation, and exact code locations, and land in the SonarQube issue list for triage and remediation in the existing workflow. The agent operates under a zero-trust model independent of the code-writing agent, with repeatable results, and layers with SAST and SCA coverage on every commit.
