Compliance-grade CLI scanner for cleartext passwords in browser memory

Edge Password Leak Scanner

Compliance-grade CLI tool for detecting cleartext passwords in browser process memory.

What is this?

Edge Password Leak Scanner audits running browser processes (Edge, Chrome, Arc, Brave) for cleartext password storage vulnerabilities. It generates SOC2/ISO 27001-compliant audit reports, helping enterprise security teams respond to the Microsoft Edge credential leak vulnerability and verify their environments aren't exposing sensitive data in memory.

Features

• Multi-browser scanning – Detects credential leaks in Edge, Chrome, Brave, and Arc processes
• Memory forensics engine – Pattern-based detection of cleartext passwords and sensitive data
• Compliance reporting – Generates SOC2/ISO 27001-formatted audit reports (JSON, PDF)
• CI/CD integration – GitHub Actions workflow for automated security scanning
• Enterprise-ready – Zero telemetry, local-first processing, air-gap compatible
• Scheduled scans – Background monitoring with Slack/email alerting
• No dependencies – Minimal runtime footprint, Python-only
