Introducing Corgea's New Visual Studio 2022 Plugin: AI-Generated Fixes for Developers

September 4, 2024

Corgea is a powerful new extension for Visual Studio 2022 that brings advanced vulnerability management capabilities directly into your development environment. This tool is designed to help developers identify, analyze, and fix security vulnerabilities in their code with ease and efficiency.

Why We Built Corgea

We built Corgea to bridge the gap between development and security, making it easier for developers to produce secure code without disrupting their workflow. The C# and .Net ecosystems are used by many of the world's largest companies. By integrating vulnerability detection and management directly into Visual Studio 2022, we're empowering developers to address security concerns early and often in the development process.

Key Features

1. Seamless Integration with Visual Studio 2022

Corgea integrates smoothly into Visual Studio 2022, providing a familiar and intuitive interface for developers. The extension adds new menu items and tool windows that blend seamlessly with the existing Visual Studio environment.

2. Comprehensive Vulnerability Overview

The Vulnerability Tool Window provides a clear, hierarchical view of all detected vulnerabilities in your project. Each vulnerability is displayed with key information such as classification, status, urgency, and line number, making it easy to prioritize and address issues.

3. Detailed Vulnerability Analysis

When you select a vulnerability, Corgea opens a Vulnerability Details Tool Window. This window provides in-depth information about the selected vulnerability, including:

  • Classification and urgency

  • Current status

  • Detailed description of the issue

  • Suggested fix (if available)

  • Code diff showing the proposed changes

Corgea includes functionality to handle false positive detections. When a vulnerability is identified as a false positive, the extension provides reasoning and allows you to manage these cases appropriately.

4. One-Click Fix Application

For vulnerabilities with available fixes, Corgea allows you to apply the fix directly from the Vulnerability Details window with a single click. This feature streamlines the process of addressing security issues, saving you time and effort.
