zenveil 1.0.15

AI-powered security scanner for repositories and APIs.

ZenVeil

AI-powered security scanner for repositories and APIs.

ZenVeil scans your GitHub repositories and API endpoints for secrets, supply chain risks, CI/CD misconfigurations, and vulnerable dependencies — then uses AI to explain every finding and generate a fix, all from the terminal.

---

What is ZenVeil?

ZenVeil is a developer-first security tool that catches the vulnerabilities that slip through code review:

• Leaked secrets — AWS keys, GitHub tokens, Slack tokens, JWT secrets, hardcoded passwords, .env files committed by accident
• Supply chain risks — unpinned dependencies, missing lockfiles, dependency confusion attacks, known CVEs via OSV.dev
• CI/CD misconfigurations — unpinned GitHub Actions, pull_request_target privilege escalation, script injection, overly broad token scopes
• API security gaps — missing security headers, exposed admin/debug endpoints, insecure CORS, sensitive data leakage

Every finding is tagged with its OWASP Top 10 2021 category and includes a severity rating (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW). When you want to dig deeper, AI-powered explain, fix, and triage commands stream a Claude-generated analysis right to your terminal.

$ zenveil explain ZV-001

Finding ZV-001: AWS access key exposed in source code

The string 'AKIA...' matches the AWS access key format and is hardcoded
in src/config.py. Any developer with read access to this repository —
or anyone who ever cloned it — has permanent access to this key until
it is rotated in the AWS console.

Attack scenario: An attacker discovers the key via GitHub search or a
leaked repo archive, authenticates to AWS, and exfiltrates data from S3
or spins up resources for cryptomining. AWS bills accrue to your account.

Remediation: Rotate the key immediately in the AWS IAM console, then
store it as a GitHub Actions secret or in a secrets manager. Never
hardcode credentials in source code.

Context-aware severity

ZenVeil scans test, fixture, and example files by default — because real credentials are routinely leaked there. Instead of ignoring these files, ZenVeil classifies findings by context and adjusts severity accordingly.

Context label	Paths	Behaviour
prod	src/, lib/, app/	Full severity
test	tests/, spec/, __tests__/	Severity downgraded
fixture	fixtures/, mocks/, stubs/	Severity downgraded
example	examples/, demos/, samples/	Severity downgraded

Use --exclude-tests to skip non-production files entirely.

Roadmap

• Local repo scanning — zenveil scan repo <path> for air-gapped or pre-push workflows
• GitLab & Bitbucket — native integrations beyond GitHub
• SARIF output — upload results to GitHub Advanced Security or any SARIF-compatible tool
• Policy as code — define fail conditions in a zenveil.yml config file
• Slack / webhook alerts — notify your team on CRITICAL or HIGH findings
• IDE extension — surface findings inline in VS Code as you code
