The False Positive Problem
Traditional security tools generate overwhelming noise:- 50-70% of SAST findings are false positives
- Security teams spend more time investigating than fixing
- Developers ignore alerts due to alert fatigue
- Real vulnerabilities get lost in noise
- Analyzing code context automatically
- Filtering out non-exploitable findings
- Learning your codebase patterns
- Prioritizing real security issues
How the AI Engine Works
CodeThreat Hive is the AI engine that powers intelligent analysis:1
Context Building
The AI builds a map of your repository structure, understanding relationships between files, functions, and data flows.
2
Violation Analysis
For each violation, the AI examines code patterns, input validation, framework controls, and dataflow.
3
Exploitability Assessment
The AI determines if a violation is actually exploitable or a false positive based on context.
4
Learning and Memory
The AI remembers patterns specific to your repository and improves filtering over time.
Powered by Large Language Models
CodeThreat uses state-of-the-art LLMs (GPT-4, Claude) combined with RepoMap technology:- Semantic understanding: Knows what code does, not just what it says
- Cross-file analysis: Tracks data flow across multiple files
- Framework awareness: Understands security controls in React, Django, Spring, etc.
- Context-aware: Considers the full execution path
False Positive Elimination
After every scan, the AI automatically analyzes violations to filter false positives.What the AI Checks
Input Validation
Input Validation
Question: Is user input properly validated before use?The AI recognizes validation patterns and understands when SQL injection risk is mitigated.
Framework Protections
Framework Protections
Question: Does the framework provide built-in protection?The AI recognizes React auto-escaping, Django ORM parameterization, and other framework protections.
Dead Code
Dead Code
Question: Is this code actually executed?The AI understands control flow and identifies unreachable code.
Results of AI Filtering
After AI analysis, violations are marked:- ✅ Reviewed by AI: The AI examined this and determined it’s real
- ⚠️ Likely False Positive: The AI thinks this isn’t exploitable
- 🔍 Needs Human Review: The AI couldn’t determine automatically
AI Pull Request Reviews
CodeThreat’s AI reviews every pull request for security implications.What the AI Reviews
- Security impact analysis
- Contextual fix suggestions
- Priority and confidence ratings
- Architectural impact assessment
Benefits
- Faster code reviews: Security feedback before merge
- Consistent analysis: Same quality review on every PR
- Contextual fixes: Suggestions tailored to your codebase
- No human intervention: Agents work autonomously
Learning and Improvement
The AI learns from your codebase:- Pattern recognition: Identifies your validation patterns
- Framework usage: Understands how you use frameworks
- False positive patterns: Learns what you consider false positives
- Continuous improvement: Gets better with each scan
