Ship secure code without a security team. Codecanic scans any repository for vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, and supply-chain risk — then opens the pull request that fixes them. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Codecanic requires an auto-renewable Codecanic Pro subscription ($14.99/month, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers) to access its features on iOS and macOS. WHAT IT FINDS • Known CVEs in your dependencies — npm and PyPI, checked against the OSV vulnerability database • Leaked secrets and API keys — pattern + entropy detection, always redacted in reports • Risky code — static analysis for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python (injection, weak crypto, unsafe eval, and more) • Supply-chain threats — typosquatted package names and non-registry dependency sources • Repo hygiene — committed .env files, missing lockfiles, missing CI, loose TypeScript settings WHAT IT FIXES — AUTOMATICALLY Codecanic doesn't stop at a report. One tap opens a real GitHub pull request that: • Bumps vulnerable dependencies to the patched version (with a merge-confidence score) • Removes committed secrets from tracking and adds them to .gitignore • Adds a baseline CI workflow if you have none You review and merge. Your repo, your call — always. WORKS WITH YOUR STACK • Scan public repos from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket by URL • Connect GitHub securely (GitHub App, least-privilege) for private repos and fix PRs • Export reports and SBOMs • Optional: bring your own AI key for AI-assisted repairs — your key stays on your device YOUR CODE IS NEVER STORED Scans run on a shallow temporary clone that is deleted the moment the scan finishes. Reports contain findings, not your source. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Codecanic Pro: $14.99/month, auto-renewing. 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
