Datadog Launches AI-Native SAST for LLM Vulnerability Detection

TL;DR

Datadog Code Security now detects LLM-specific vulnerabilities like prompt injection and excessive agency using taint and control flow analysis across six languages.

Key Points

  • Covers OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications with AI-native detection beyond pattern matching
  • Supports Python, Go, Java, C#, TypeScript, and JavaScript
  • Uses taint analysis, control flow analysis, and pattern matching for context-aware vulnerability detection
  • Integrates directly into PR workflows and CI pipelines with actionable feedback

Why It Matters

Traditional SAST tools miss LLM-specific vulnerabilities like prompt injection and hidden context exposure that don't appear until production. This addresses a critical gap for teams rapidly deploying LLM applications, shifting security left into development workflows where remediation is cheaper and faster.
