VibeGuard

VibeGuard is an innovative security linter specifically designed to analyze AI-generated code, providing crucial insights into vulnerabilities frequently produced by tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT. Unlike traditional linters, VibeGuard focuses on the unique patterns and common mistakes made by these AI assistants, addressing issues that include:

• SQL injection vulnerabilities due to the use of string concatenation
• Hardcoded secrets and API keys within the source code
• Unsafe user input processing with functions like eval(), exec(), and subprocess.shell=True
• JWT tokens that may bypass security checks with the alg:none issue
• XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities due to misconfigured parsers
• Insecure random number generation impacting security-sensitive operations
• Path traversal issues resulting from unsanitized user-controlled paths
• Misconfigurations that leave debug modes enabled in production environments
• Pickle deserialization of untrusted data, posing remote code execution risks

VibeGuard identifies these vulnerabilities through a robust rule library consisting of 47 specialized AI-pattern rules, ensuring that both developers and security teams can efficiently detect and address potential threats. The grading system scores code quality from A to F based on vulnerabilities detected, allowing for straightforward reporting and prioritization of fixes.

Example Usage

To scan a project directory for vulnerabilities, use the following command:

vibeguard scan --path ./my-ai-generated-project

This will check the specified path against VibeGuard’s extensive set of rules and generate a detailed report highlighting any security issues, complete with plain English explanations for each finding and recommended fixes.
