A lot of people at the Linuxwochen were asking if coala can do some security related analysis.

Security related analysis is a whole new sphere. It's not easy and most of the times it isn't possible to do it with static analysis tools.

OWASP is the de-facto place to look for security related information. It has a list of security analysis tools: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Source_Code_Analysis_Tools

Note: PMD already does some security analysis !

I think we really should look into this, coala is great for non real-time stuff and security and other analysis is totally important IMO
