FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a GitHub repository for security risks before cloning?

A remote security audit evaluates executable scripts, workflow files, and dependencies directly from the remote repository to provide a clear 'go/no-go' clone verdict without downloading the code.

What is supply-chain security and how does a pre-clone audit help?

Supply-chain security prevents attacks from untrusted dependencies by evaluating repository files and workflows. A pre-clone audit assesses these remote risks to ensure the repository meets security standards before downloading.

Can I check for exposed secrets in a GitHub repository without cloning it?

Yes, you can check for secrets exposure in a GitHub repository without cloning by performing a remote security audit. This scans the remote files to identify potential secrets and other vulnerabilities safely.

How do I scan GitHub CI/CD workflows for malicious scripts remotely?

To scan GitHub CI/CD workflows for malicious scripts remotely, use a pre-clone security audit tool. It evaluates executable scripts and workflow files directly from the remote repository to detect supply-chain vulnerabilities.

Does a remote GitHub security audit require any local dependencies?

A remote GitHub security audit requires no local dependencies to evaluate repository security. It operates entirely remotely, checking the repository's files and workflows to deliver an immediate clone safety verdict.
