## What is Bearer CLI?

Bearer CLI is a static application security testing (SAST) tool that performs source code analysis to identify security and privacy vulnerabilities in applications.

The tool analyzes data flows within source code to discover potential security risks and provides filtering and prioritization capabilities for identified issues. It supports multiple programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, PHP, Java, Go, and Python.

Bearer CLI focuses on detecting vulnerabilities that align with established security frameworks, covering OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 vulnerability categories. The tool operates as a command-line interface, enabling integration into development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

The scanner examines code patterns and data handling practices to identify common security weaknesses such as injection flaws, authentication issues, and data exposure risks. It provides developers with actionable insights about potential security vulnerabilities before code deployment.
