I’ve been thinking about a similar problem I have on a regular basis: I audit a lot of code in many languages, sometimes I’m not even able to build solutions. my toolset pretty much includes git and rudimentary regex. A recent example is a PHP function which is insecure when it’s used at least 3 times in a string concat.

Any suggestion on an AST ‘framework’ that would help me parse code easier? Language specific or generic, even if it only sort-of fits (I don’t even know what I want).

Automated Code analysers exist, but I want something manual.
