## Executive Summary

Sonar now asks buyers to accept machine-written changes to their own code, a deeper commitment than the scanning it is known for. SonarQube has flagged code issues for humans to fix for 17 years, and today it covers bugs, security flaws, leaked credentials, vulnerable open-source components, and misconfigured infrastructure files. In May 2026 Sonar bought an AI agent that reviews code changes, diagnoses failed builds, and commits fixes itself. Sonar says SonarQube is trusted by more than 7 million developers and 500,000 organizations. No independent benchmark of the fix agent appears in the reviewed sources. Sonar's analyst recognition is in code quality rather than code security. Until an outside benchmark covers the agent, the verifiable purchase is the scanner.
