Velonus: Open-Source AppSec Scanner That Silences SAST Noise

If you've ever waded through hundreds of SAST scanner warnings to find one actual vulnerability, you know the feeling—a mix of hopelessness and a desire to set your CI on fire. Enter Velonus: an open-source tool that deduplicates and filters out the noise, leaving only what truly matters.

The folks at AliAmmar15 decided enough is enough. Velonus analyzes SAST scanner outputs (popular ones supported, list growing), merges duplicates, filters false positives, and even groups related issues. All in a simple CLI tool that doesn't require configuring 47 columns in JIRA.

Best part: it's open-source, so you can not only use it but also tweak it for your needs. If you hate SAST for cluttering your code reviews, Velonus is your personal code janitor. It doesn't brew coffee yet, but maybe in the next release.

METABYTE studio comment: AppSec is painful, but it doesn't have to be. We'd drop Velonus into the pipeline and sleep better. Just hope it doesn't start deduplicating developers.
