Initial release of the plugin. This new tool empowers developers to identify risks in their code in realtime and harness the power of AI to remediate the risks on the spot.

Checkmarx Developer Assist comprises two main elements:

  • Realtime Scanning - Identify vulnerabilities in realtime during IDE development of both human-generated and AI-generated code. Our super-fast scanners run in the background whenever you open or edit a relevant file. Our scanners identify vulnerabilities and unmasked secrets in your code. We also identify vulnerable or malicious container images and open source packages used in your project. Results are marked as Problems which are highlighted in the code and annotated with identifying icons.

  • Agentic-AI Remediation – Initiate an Agentic-AI session to receive remediation suggestions. Checkmarx feeds all relevant info to the AI agent which accesses our MCP server to gather data from our proprietary databases and customized AI models. The AI assistant then uses this data to generate remediated code for your project. You can accept the suggested changes or you can chat with the AI agent to learn more about the vulnerability and fine-tune the remediation suggestion.
