PyT (Python Taint) is a static analysis tool that detects security vulnerabilities like injection flaws in Python web applications using taint analysis, control flow graphs, and fixed-point dataflow analysis. It is no longer maintained; the README recommends Facebook's Pyre/Pysa instead.
Use cases
- find sql injection vulnerabilities in python flask app
- static taint analysis for python web application
- detect xss vulnerabilities in python code
- scan python codebase for security vulnerabilities without running it
- learn how taint analysis and control flow graphs work
When to choose
- you need a dependency-free static taint analysis tool for a Python 3.6-era Flask codebase
- you want to study the internals of a taint-analysis SAST implementation
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - use Pysa/Pyre or Bandit instead
- your codebase uses modern Python versions beyond 3.6
- you need low false positives in production CI
