🛡️ Gemini Bug Hunter

AI-Powered Security Vulnerability Hunter (CLI)

Gemini Bug Hunter is an AI-first CLI tool that helps developers find, understand, and fix security vulnerabilities in their codebases using Gemini 2.5 Flash (Next Gen) as the core intelligence engine.

Inspired by tools like Gemini-CLI and Claude-Code, Gemini Bug Hunter brings ethical hacking and AppSec workflows directly into the developer terminal.

🚀 Vision

Security tools are often:

• Too noisy
• Too complex
• Too disconnected from developer workflows

Gemini Bug Hunter solves this by using Gemini 2.5 (Next Gen) as the main reasoning engine to:

• Understand code context
• Detect vulnerabilities
• Explain real-world risks
• Propose secure fixes
• Apply safe auto-remediations

🧠 Core Principle

Gemini 3 is not an assistant — it is the brain of the system.

All vulnerability analysis, risk reasoning, and fix generation are driven by Gemini 3.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Node.js (v18+)
• JavaScript (ES2022+)
• Gemini 2.5 Flash (Next Gen Analysis Engine)
• Premium CLI Experience (ASCII Art, Animations, Gradients)
• CLI Framework: commander
• Output Styling: chalk, cli-table3, boxen
• File traversal: glob
• Config: .env + default.js

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• Gemini API Key (Get one here)
• Gemini Model: Uses gemini-2.5-flash by default (configurable)

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/holasoymalva/gemini-bug-hunter.git
cd gemini-bug-hunter

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your GEMINI_API_KEY

# Test installation
npm start doctor

Global Installation

To use gbh from anywhere in your terminal:

# 1. Install globally
npm install -g gemini-bug-hunter

# 2. Set your API Key globally (Run once)
gbh config set-key <YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY>

# 3. Ready to scan!
gbh scan

🧪 CLI Commands

Scan for Vulnerabilities

# Scan current directory
gbh scan

# Scan specific file or directory
gbh scan ./src

# Output to JSON file
gbh scan --output report.json

# JSON output to stdout
gbh scan --json

# Interactive Auto-Fix Mode
gbh scan --fix

Note: The --fix option will interactively prompt you to apply AI-generated fixes for each vulnerability found.

Check System Health

gbh doctor

Explain Vulnerability

gbh explain "SQL Injection"
gbh explain "XSS"

🔍 How It Works

1. Collect - Scans project files based on configured patterns
2. Sanitize - Redacts secrets and sensitive data
3. Analyze - Sends code to Gemini 3 with structured prompts
4. Parse - Extracts structured vulnerability data
5. Score - Calculates risk scores using weighted algorithms
6. Report - Displays beautiful, actionable reports

System Prompt

Gemini receives a carefully crafted system prompt that instructs it to:

• Act as a professional ethical hacker
• Focus on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
• Avoid false positives
• Return structured JSON responses
• Provide actionable recommendations

Response Schema

{
  "projectRiskScore": 0-100,
  "riskLevel": "LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL",
  "summary": "string",
  "vulnerabilities": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "title": "string",
      "severity": "LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL",
      "confidence": 0-1,
      "category": "string",
      "file": "string",
      "line": number,
      "description": "string",
      "impact": "string",
      "exploitationScenario": "string",
      "recommendation": "string",
      "secureCodeExample": "string",
      "autoFixSafe": boolean
    }
  ]
}

📊 Risk Scoring

The tool calculates risk scores using:

• Severity (40% weight) - CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW
• Confidence (30% weight) - How certain is the detection
• Exploitability (20% weight) - How easy to exploit
• Impact (10% weight) - Business impact

Final score: 0-100%

🔐 Security & Privacy

✅ Explicit consent before sending code to Gemini
✅ Automatic secret redaction (API keys, passwords, tokens)
✅ No remote storage of source code
✅ Configurable privacy settings

📈 Example Output

🛡️  GEMINI BUG HUNTER REPORT

📊 Risk Assessment

  Risk Score: 81% ████████████████████
  Risk Level: HIGH
  Summary: Found 3 vulnerabilities including 1 CRITICAL issues requiring immediate attention

🎯 Severity Breakdown

  ● CRITICAL: 1
  ● HIGH: 1
  ● MEDIUM: 1

🔍 Detected Vulnerabilities

🔴 [1] SQL Injection in User Query
    File: src/users.js:42
    Category: SQL Injection
    Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: 95%

    User input is directly concatenated into SQL query without sanitization.

    ⚠️  Impact: Attackers can extract or manipulate database data.

    ✓ Fix: Use parameterized queries and input validation.

    ✨ Auto-fix available

🔮 Future Roadmap

• Auto-fix implementation (Interactive Mode)
• GitHub Actions integration
• CI/CD security gates
• PR comment integration
• Historical risk tracking
• Multi-language support (Python, Java, Go)
• Enterprise mode with team features
• Custom rule definitions
• Integration with SAST tools
