Real-Time Code Vulnerability Detector for VS Code & GitHub Repositories
The problem SecureScript AI solves
Developers often introduce security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, XSS, and insecure authentication, due to tight deadlines or lack of security awareness. Existing tools either detect these issues too late or fail to provide context-aware detection for various tech stacks.
SecureScript AI is an AI-powered VS Code extension and a web platform that:
Scans code in real time inside VS Code and flags vulnerabilities based on the OWASP Top 10.
Analyzes entire GitHub repositories for security flaws, allowing developers to detect vulnerabilities across their projects.
By providing real-time feedback and deep repository scans, SecureScript AI helps teams identify security risks early and maintain safer codebases.
Challenges we ran into
Real-Time Analysis in VS Code – Implementing a low-latency AI model to analyze code without slowing down the IDE. We optimized this using incremental scanning and efficient API requests.
Scaling GitHub Repository Scans – Parsing and analyzing large repositories efficiently was a challenge. We built asynchronous processing pipelines for scanning large codebases.
Accurate Detection Across Tech Stacks – Security vulnerabilities vary by language and framework. We trained our model on real-world CVE patches to provide reliable and context-aware detection.
