find-bugs

To find bugs in a git branch diff, analyze changed files to map inputs, queries, auth checks, session state, external calls, and cryptography usage. Evaluate each issue with a checklist and document evidence, impact, and remediation suggestions.

Diff-based static analysis is examining the full git diff of modified files to discover defects and security-focused issues like input validation and authorization gaps before merging a feature branch.

Run a security audit on local branch changes by comparing the current branch against its base, enumerating changed files, and applying a workflow to identify configuration issues, auth checks, and cryptography usage.

You can check code quality and authorization issues in modified files by running a diff analysis that applies a security-focused checklist to map session state, external calls, and inputs across all changed files.

You need to review branch changes for security gaps when asked to audit code, perform a security review, or find bugs before merging a feature branch to ensure no vulnerabilities or quality issues are introduced.
