Detectors

SECURITY — OWASP Top 10

  • SQL injection via string concatenation or template literals
  • Hardcoded passwords, API keys, tokens, secrets
  • XSS via innerHTML assignment or dangerouslySetInnerHTML
  • Command injection via exec/spawn with string concat
  • NoSQL injection from raw request body in queries
  • Path traversal via user input in file paths
  • HTTP instead of HTTPS in fetch/axios calls
  • Route handlers without auth middleware

ERROR_HANDLING

  • async functions without try/catch
  • .then() without .catch()
  • fetch() without error handling
  • fs sync operations outside try/catch
  • JSON.parse() outside try/catch

DUPLICATE

  • Exact duplicate function bodies (hash-based)
  • Near-duplicate functions >80% similar (Jaccard token similarity)

AI_PATTERN

  • Over-verbose comments that restate what code does
  • Generic variable names (data, result, temp, response)
  • AI-generated TODO leftovers
  • Mixed camelCase + snake_case naming
  • Unexplained magic numbers

CI Integration

Add to your CI pipeline:

# GitHub Actions
- name: VibeScan
  run: npx vibescan --diff ${{ github.event.before }} --severity warning --json > vibescan.json
# Pre-push hook
npx vibescan --diff HEAD~1 --severity critical

Roadmap

  • GitHub Action wrapper
  • VS Code extension
  • AST-based detection (v2, fewer false positives)
  • Custom rule configuration (.vibescanrc)
  • Baseline mode (ignore existing issues, only flag new ones)
  • Python + Go support
