security-audit

To automate a security audit, you can run a multi-layered scan across your codebase and dependencies. The process integrates Snyk for vulnerability detection while analyzing silent failures, type invariants around security boundaries, and deny-list hygiene.

Multi-layered vulnerability detection scans for known dependency threats using Snyk, identifies swallowed exceptions in security-critical paths, checks for weak types around boundaries, and verifies the appropriateness of deny-list rules in settings.

Yes, Snyk is a required dependency to execute this automated code scanning workflow. It provides the core code-level and dependency vulnerability scanning capabilities, while other integrated tools handle silent failure detection and type invariant analysis.

Yes, you can customize the scope of the security audit. The workflow allows you to define the target area, meaning you can scan an entire repository, a specific directory, or limit the vulnerability detection to a PR diff.

The best way to detect silent failures and weak types is using a type-invariant audit and silent failure detection mechanism. This process identifies swallowed exceptions in security-critical paths and checks for weak types around security boundaries.
