To scan code for security vulnerabilities like hardcoded secrets and sensitive file exposure, you can run a comprehensive security audit. This process analyzes source code files, git history, and configuration settings to detect exposed API keys, tokens, and unprotected `.env` or `.pem` files.

A security audit prevents data exfiltration by validating API usage, logging practices, and input validation. It identifies potential leaks of sensitive information in logs and checks for insecure authentication mechanisms to maintain application integrity and prevent system compromise.

Checking git history for committed secrets involves scanning past commits for hardcoded API keys, passwords, and tokens. The audit verifies `.gitignore` configurations and analyzes historical git data to ensure sensitive files like `.env` are not exposed in the repository.

Yes, you can detect command injection risks and insecure input handling before deployment by running an injection risk assessment. This audit evaluates source code to identify vulnerabilities related to insecure input handling and potential command injection attacks.

Yes, the security audit thoroughly reviews API security and authentication mechanisms. It analyzes API call security, including HTTPS usage and token handling, to ensure that authentication mechanisms are robust and compliant with security best practices.

You should run a security vulnerability audit before deploying new code to production. This ensures no secrets are exposed, validates that authentication mechanisms are robust, and verifies compliance with security best practices to prevent potential data breaches.
