Detailed Introduction
TheAuditor is a database-first code intelligence and static security analysis platform designed to provide verifiable facts and precise data-flow tracking for large, polyglot codebases. By indexing source code into structured SQLite databases, it replaces repetitive file parsing with fast indexed queries, enabling sub-second lookups, cross-file taint analysis, and architecture hotspot detection. TheAuditor emphasizes correctness and verifiability, supplying deterministic answers that reduce LLM hallucination when used in agent workflows.
Main Features
- Database-first indexing: Incremental indexing of repositories so queries run against an index instead of file I/O for consistent, fast results.
- Full taint/data-flow analysis: Source-to-sink tracking across files and modules to detect SQL injection, command injection, XSS, and similar flows.
- Four-Vector Convergence Engine (FCE): Evidence aggregation across static, structural, process, and flow vectors to raise confidence.
- Architecture & impact analysis: Automatic call-graph and coupling hotspot detection and blast-radius computation before changes.
Use Cases
TheAuditor suits engineering teams that require rigorous security, compliance, or architectural observability for large repositories (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.). Typical use cases include security audits, pre-migration impact assessment, fact verification for AI agents (providing deterministic queries to LLMs), and deep static analysis in CI pipelines.
Technical Characteristics
- Semantic multi-language analysis: Native compiler integrations for Python and TypeScript for deep semantic analysis, with tree-sitter-based support for other languages.
- Database-driven queries: SQLite stores symbols, calls, and findings and supports recursive CTE queries for fast evidence discovery.
- Composable CLI toolset: Rich commands (e.g.,
aud full,aud taint,aud blueprint,aud fce) designed for CI, local use, and agent workflows. - Local-first privacy: Analysis runs locally by default; network features are optional and an offline mode is available for air-gapped environments.
