Nika is an open-source static analysis tool for Java microservices that performs cross-file, inter-procedural taint analysis to trace attacker-controlled inputs from sources to security-sensitive sinks. The article outlines Nika's detection coverage (11 vulnerability categories), HTML/JSON reporting of source-to-sink paths, optional AI-assisted review to reduce false positives, benchmarking against the OWASP Java benchmark, and deployment options (Docker/local build), positioning the tool for branch-aware secure code review.
