AI That Hunts Logic Bugs Before Attackers Do - Taylor Luttrell-Williams, Sonar
SonarQube Hunter Agent uses AI to detect logic-level vulnerabilities that traditional SAST cannot find
“not all vulnerabilities are bugs in your code, at least according to SAST”
Sonar introduced SonarQube Hunter Agent, an AI security agent targeting logic-level vulnerabilities that pattern-based static analysis tools miss. The system uses a multi-agent architecture—a global repo mapper spawning three specialized sub-agents—with adversarial validation to reduce false positives. The pitch is that AI-generated code is shipping faster than quarterly pentests can cover, creating a gap this agent is designed to fill.
