snitch-stitch 0.1.1

A security auditor CLI for Git repositories using LLMs

snitch-stitch

A security auditor CLI for Git repositories. Scans both backend source code and running frontend UIs to find real security vulnerabilities, scores them by severity, and lets you accept or reject LLM-generated code fixes.

Installation

pip install snitch-stitch

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/snitch-stitch/snitch-stitch.git
cd snitch-stitch
pip install -e .

Requirements

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
OPENAI_API_KEY	Yes	Used for all LLM calls (code analysis, fix generation)
RTRVR_API_KEY	No	Used for frontend browser scanning via rtrvr.ai

Set these before running:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export RTRVR_API_KEY="..."  # Optional, for frontend scanning

Usage

snitch-stitch <repo-path> [options]

Arguments

• <repo-path> - Path to the local repository directory to scan (required)

Options

Flag	Description	Default
--frontend-url URL	URL of a running frontend (e.g., http://localhost:3000). Enables frontend scanning.	None
--fix-all	Skip the selection prompt and attempt to fix everything	False
--dry-run	Show diffs but never write anything to disk	False
--verbose	Print debug info (raw API responses, parsed JSON)	False

Examples

Scan a repository for backend vulnerabilities:

snitch-stitch ./my-project

Scan both backend and frontend:

snitch-stitch ./my-project --frontend-url http://localhost:3000

Preview fixes without applying them:

snitch-stitch ./my-project --dry-run

Automatically fix all vulnerabilities:

snitch-stitch ./my-project --fix-all

How It Works

snitch-stitch runs through 5 stages:

Stage 1: Ingest

Converts the repository into a text format suitable for LLM analysis using gitingest.

Stage 2: Backend Scan

Sends the code to OpenAI GPT-4o with a security analysis prompt. Identifies vulnerabilities like:

• SQL injection
• Command injection
• Path traversal
• Hardcoded secrets
• Missing authentication
• Insecure deserialization
• XSS vulnerabilities

Stage 3: Frontend Scan (Optional)

If --frontend-url is provided and RTRVR_API_KEY is set, uses rtrvr.ai to control a real browser and probe the running application for:

• XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
• Authentication bypass
• IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)
• Missing input validation
• Admin panel access

Stage 4: Rank

Scores each vulnerability (0-10) based on:

• Exposure: Public-facing (5) vs local-only (1)
• Exploitability: Easy (3) / Moderate (2) / Hard (1)
• Impact: Critical (4) / High (3) / Medium (2) / Low (1)

Severity labels: Critical (9-10), High (7-8), Medium (4-6), Low (1-3)

Stage 5: Fix

For each selected vulnerability:

1. Generates a minimal code fix using OpenAI
2. Shows a colored diff (red for removals, green for additions)
3. Prompts you to accept or reject
4. Writes accepted fixes to disk

Example Output

$ snitch-stitch ./my-project --frontend-url http://localhost:3000
