## What it is
Electronegativity is a CLI-based SAST tool that scans Electron applications for misconfigurations and security anti-patterns using AST and DOM parsing. It helps developers and auditors detect weaknesses based on the Electron Security Checklist.

## Use cases
- audit electron app for security misconfigurations
- scan electron codebase for security anti-patterns
- run static security analysis on .asar archive
- check electron app against security checklist
- export security findings to sarif or csv
- integrate electron security checks into ci

## When to choose
- you need a free open-source scanner for Electron app security
- you want CLI-based checks with severity and confidence filtering
- you need SARIF or CSV output for reporting

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained checks and updates - the project is no longer maintained
- you want the most powerful SAST - consider the commercial ElectroNG
- you are not building with Electron

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- domain: security, developer-tools, desktop-applications
- platform: cli, cross-platform
