About this tool

The AI Code Security Scanner analyzes JavaScript and TypeScript code for common security vulnerabilities. Paste your source and it identifies hardcoded secrets, SQL injection points, cross-site scripting (XSS) vectors, path traversal risks, and dynamic code execution.

Each finding includes the line number, severity (critical / high / medium / low), a description of the issue, and the relevant code snippet. Use the results as a quick first pass before manual review or SAST tooling in CI.

What it catches: hardcoded API keys, passwords, and tokens (GitHub, OpenAI, AWS, Slack); SQL queries built with string concatenation; innerHTML without sanitization; eval() and new Function(); and filesystem operations with unsanitized user input.

FAQ

Is this a replacement for a SAST tool?

No — this is a fast first-pass scanner that runs entirely in the browser. It catches the most common patterns but does not perform data-flow or taint analysis. Use it for quick checks during development, but pair it with a full SAST pipeline (Semgrep, CodeQL, SonarQube) for production-grade coverage.

Does the scanner detect vulnerabilities in dependencies?

No. Dependency scanning (supply-chain vulnerabilities) requires knowledge of your package.json lockfile and known CVE databases. Use <code>npm audit</code>, Snyk, or Dependabot for that.

Will it produce false positives?

Yes, pattern-based scanning is inherently noisy. A <code>static readonly SECRET_KEY</code> in a config may be flagged even if it is safe in context, and <code>innerHTML</code> assignments after sanitization are flagged unless the sanitizer call is on the same line. Treat every finding as a prompt to investigate, not a guaranteed bug.
