Ran it against a planted UserRepo.java with a concatenated-SQL search endpoint and an unauthenticated admin delete route: it correctly flagged both the ORDER BY/LIKE injection and a second injection point in the DELETE string most reviewers skip, each with file:line, attack path, and Fortify category ready to feed into SSC/FoD triage.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Fortify Change Review does

Maps a code change to the relevant Fortify security check files (injection, authZ, XXE, SSRF, IaC, crypto, etc.), applies each check's required agent actions, and emits a standardized 'Fortify Change Review' findings block with CWE/category, attack path, and recommendation per finding. Triggers on explicit 'Fortify security review' requests or when a diff touches auth, input handling, IaC, crypto, or similar sensitive surfaces; explicitly defers full SAST/DAST/SCA to other Fortify skills.
