Traditional SAST scanning often overwhelms developers with endless alerts and no clear fixes. That slows teams down and leaves real vulnerabilities unresolved. What teams truly need is a modern SAST scan that not only detects issues but also fixes them, directly in the workflow. Unlike legacy SAST scanning tools, Xygeni Code Security provides context-aware detection, AI-powered remediation, and automated guardrails that keep pipelines clean without slowing developers down.
With Xygeni Code Security, you get exactly that. AI Auto-Fix with Customer Models generates ready-to-merge PRs using your own AI engines, keeping all code private. And the Xygeni Bot runs remediation continuously, so pipelines stay clean automatically.
Why Traditional SAST Scanning Falls Short
Legacy SAST scanning tools detect vulnerabilities but leave developers with long reports, false positives, and no actionable fixes. As a result, security becomes a bottleneck instead of an enabler.
Common issues include:
- Alert fatigue: hundreds of findings with no prioritization.
- Context gap: no link between findings and real exploitability.
- Slow remediation: developers must research and patch issues manually.
Therefore, modern teams need more than static detection, they need SAST scanning with automation and AI-powered fixes.

Severity & CWE
Xygeni brings SAST scanning directly into developer workflows, covering IDEs, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines. Instead of a static report, developers get real-time feedback and secure code suggestions.
Key capabilities:
- Inline detection: scans run on every commit or pull request.
- Reachability analysis: filters findings by whether they are exploitable.
- Guardrails in pipelines: blocks merges when exploitable vulnerabilities appear.

AI AutoFix: Ready-to-Merge Secure Snippets
Most SAST scan findings stop at detection. Xygeni goes further by generating ready-to-merge secure snippets directly in the pull request. Developers don’t just see what’s wrong, they see how to fix it.
- Context-aware fixes: swap unsafe code with secure alternatives.
- Developer-friendly PRs: AutoFix opens a pull request with suggested changes.
- Time saved: less research, more secure coding.
AI Auto-Fix with Customer Models
Xygeni now supports customer-provided AI models for automated remediation. Instead of relying on external servers, the CLI connects directly to your chosen model, keeping source code private.
Benefits:
- Privacy-first remediation: code never leaves your infrastructure.
- Unlimited fixes: no plan limits when using your own AI model.
- Flexible integration: works with OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Groq, and OpenRouter.
- Same workflow: AutoFix still creates PRs with fixes, developers only review and approve.
This ensures organizations meet strict governance and compliance needs while still leveraging AI-powered SAST code scanning.
The Xygeni Bot: Automated Remediation at Scale
Manual patching slows developers down. The Xygeni Bot automates remediation for SAST, SCA, and Secrets findings.
- Runs on every PR to keep branches clean.
- Executes daily scheduled fixes for continuous upkeep.
- Creates pull requests automatically with patches.
Developers simply review and merge. This reduces backlog and ensures vulnerabilities don’t pile up.
