Semmle is basically datalog over source code.

For what it works for, it works nice. But it is not a pancaea.

Security vulnerability finding is almost certainly the wrong target for Semmle - I am unsure why they are trying to push that angle. There are much better stories in things like refactoring and understanding. (I say this having overseen a number of deployments for various reasons, some successful, some not)
