The Problem
95% of security breaches are caused by vulnerabilities that were already in the code.
Not sophisticated zero-days. Not nation-state attacks. Just overlooked mistakes — SQL injection, hardcoded credentials, insecure API calls, weak input validation — sitting in codebases, waiting to be exploited.
Most developers write code fast. Security reviews happen slow, if at all. Enterprise security tools cost $50K/year. And most teams don't have a dedicated SecOps engineer.
CodeGuard fixes that.
What is CodeGuard?
CodeGuard is an open source, AI-powered security scanner that analyzes your code for vulnerabilities instantly — no setup, no config, no enterprise contract required.
Paste your code or upload a file. Get an immediate security analysis with a severity score, full issue breakdown, real CVE mappings, and actionable fixes.
Features
Core Scanning
- Detects 30+ vulnerability types — SQL injection, XSS, RCE, SSRF, hardcoded secrets, path traversal, and more
- Maps findings to real CVEs from NIST NVD
- Plain-English explanations + exact fix recommendations
Red Team Simulation
- Simulate real attacker behavior against your code
- Choose from 8 real threat actor profiles: APT28, Lazarus Group, FIN7, and more
- See your vulnerabilities through the eyes of an actual adversary
GitHub PR Integration
- Auto-scans pull requests and posts findings as PR comments
- Catches issues before they merge into main
Policy Engine
- Enforce OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2 compliance rules
- Custom policy creation for your team standards
Monitoring & Alerts
- Real-time deployment monitoring
- Instant alerts when new vulnerabilities are detected
Who It Is For
- Solo developers who want security built into their workflow
- Startup CTOs who need compliance without a full SecOps team
- Dev agencies shipping client code
- SecOps engineers who want AI-assisted threat analysis
Open Source
CodeGuard is fully open source. Fork it, self-host it, contribute to it.
