How to use the Code quality (Embold) Rules Portal

The complete and always up-to-date list of supported rules — including CWE checks, OWASP tags, and all other security and quality categories across every language — is available on the Code quality Rules Portal:

https://rules.embold.io

The portal is always in sync with the latest Code quality release, so the rule count and details you see there are never out of date.

Step-by-step guide

1. Open the portal — Navigate to https://rules.embold.io in your browser.

2. Select a language — Use the language filter (e.g., Java, C/C++, Python) to narrow the list to rules for a specific technology stack.

3. Filter by tag — In the tag or category filter, type a standard such as CWE, OWASP, or CERT to show only rules carrying that tag. Each matching rule displays the exact identifier (e.g., CWE-78, OWASP-A03) alongside its title and severity.

4. Check the rule count — The total number of matched rules is shown at the top of the results. This count updates automatically with every Code quality (Embold) release.

5. View rule details — Click any rule to see its full description, remediation guidance, code examples, and all associated tags.

6. Combine filters — Stack multiple filters simultaneously — for example, Java + CWE + High severity — to get a focused view of the rules most critical to your security posture.
