The local review loop
nyx serve opens a React-based triage UI bound to localhost. It gives you finding detail,
source context, flow paths, scan history, rules management, and triage decisions that can round-trip
through .nyx/triage.json.
The engine underneath
The old BFS taint engine was replaced with block-level analysis over a pruned SSA IR. That opened the door to better path sensitivity, cleaner summaries, phi handling, container taint, and cross-file propagation that can keep more context when code jumps between files.
Symbolic execution also joins the pipeline. Candidate findings can be walked from source to sink to build a concrete witness, prune infeasible paths, and explain where the engine had to cap or bail.
What else shipped
- Hostile-repo hardening for path containment, loopback serving, CSRF tokens, and bounded reads.
- State analysis turned on by default for resource lifecycle and auth-level checks.
- Concrete attack witness strings in output where symbolic execution can build one.
- A 262-case benchmark with rule-level precision, recall, and F1 gates.
