scitex-audit

Unified security scanning: bandit + shellcheck + pip-audit + GitHub advisories in one report.

Full Documentation · uv pip install scitex-audit[all]

Problem and Solution

#	Problem	Solution
1	Security scanning requires 4 tools run separately — bandit (py) + shellcheck (sh) + pip-audit (deps) + GH Advisories — each with different output format	scitex-audit . — runs all four, merges findings into one JSON report; ideal for CI pre-release gates

Installation

pip install scitex-audit
# With all scanner backends:
pip install scitex-audit[all]

Quick Start

from scitex_audit import audit

results = audit(".")
results = audit(".", checks=["python", "shell"])

2 Interfaces

Python API

from scitex_audit import audit

# Run all enabled scanners and merge results.
results = audit(".")

# Run only specific scanners.
results = audit(".", checks=["python", "shell"])

CLI

scitex-audit .                          # all scanners
scitex-audit . --checks python,shell    # subset
