Scanning code diffs for security vulnerabilities involves performing a security-focused review that checks changes against OWASP Top 10 categories, detects hardcoded secrets, and audits input validation to prevent risks from reaching production.

Detecting hardcoded secrets in source code requires running a secret detection scan that analyzes your code changes to identify exposed API keys, passwords, and other sensitive credentials before they reach production.

An input validation audit is a security review process that verifies all external inputs are properly sanitized. It prevents injection attacks by ensuring untrusted data is safely handled before processing.

You can automatically review code changes against OWASP Top 10 categories by running an automated security-focused review. This analyzes code diffs and dependency manifests to enforce secure coding practices.

Security review works with dependency manifests and vulnerability scanning tools by analyzing them alongside language specifics. This integration enforces remediation plans for critical findings identified during the audit.

You should run a security-focused code review on pull requests before merging changes that modify sensitive logic like user authentication. This proactively mitigates security risks and prevents vulnerabilities from reaching production.
