Why You'll Actually Use This

• Zero Setup: Download and run, no Node.js or dependencies required
• Fast Enough to Not Be Annoying: Scans your entire project in seconds
• Won't Spam You: Smart enough to know test code from real issues
• Made by Developers: We know what actually breaks in production
• Works Everywhere: macOS, Linux, Windows, Docker, CI/CD - you name it
• ARM64 Support: Native support for Apple Silicon and ARM64 Linux
• Cross-Platform: Single binary for each platform, no dependencies

What It Catches (All 20 Rules)

🚨 Critical Issues (7 Rules)

• Exposed Secrets: API keys, tokens, and credentials in your code
• Hardcoded Sensitive Data: Database passwords, JWT secrets, encryption keys
• XSS Detection: Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in web applications

⚠️ High-Risk Issues (12 Rules)

• Missing Authentication: Unprotected admin routes and API endpoints
• SQL Injection: String concatenation in database queries
• Directory Traversal: Unsafe file path operations
• Open CORS: Wildcard origins that let anyone access your API
• CSRF Protection: Missing CSRF tokens in forms and unsafe cookie configurations
• Insecure Deserialization: Unsafe JSON parsing and eval usage
• Broken Access Control: Missing authorization checks
• Insecure File Upload: Unsafe file handling and validation
• Insecure Session Management: Weak session secrets and insecure cookies

📋 Medium Issues (12 Rules)

• Unvalidated Input: Direct use of user input without checks
• Insecure HTTP: Using HTTP instead of HTTPS
• Insecure Dependencies: Outdated packages with known security issues
• Missing Security Headers: No helmet.js or manual security headers
• Insecure Random Generation: Using Math.random() for security purposes
• Insecure Logging: Sensitive data exposure in logs
• Insecure Error Handling: Stack trace and information disclosure
• Insecure Configuration: Debug mode and security features disabled

Usage Examples

# Scan current directory (most common)
vibe-guard scan .

# Scan specific file
vibe-guard scan app.js

# JSON output for CI/CD
vibe-guard scan . --format json

# Quick syntax (same as scan)
vibe-guard .

# Show version
vibe-guard --version

Who This Is For

• When you're coding with AI - ChatGPT and Copilot are amazing, but they sometimes miss security basics
• Rapid prototyping - Building something quick? Don't let security be an afterthought
• No-code/Low-code folks - Generated code can have issues, this catches them
• Your CI/CD pipeline - Catch problems before they hit production
• Code reviews - Run this before you submit that PR
• Learning security - Get real-time feedback on what can or is going wrong (and how to fix it)

🌍 Language Support

Works with all the languages you actually use:

• JavaScript/TypeScript: .js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx
• Python: .py
• PHP: .php
• Ruby: .rb
• Go: .go
• Java: .java
• C#: .cs
• Config files: .json, .yaml, .yml, .env

Security shouldn't slow you down, but security holes definitely will.
