Scanning for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities involves analyzing your source code to identify common security flaws like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). A dedicated security scanner reviews your codebase patterns to detect these risks proactively before deployment.

Detecting hardcoded secrets in source code requires scanning files for sensitive credentials like API keys and passwords. A security scanner automates this by pattern matching against insecure secret management practices to flag exposed credentials.

A security scanner reviews insecure configurations by analyzing your code for weak authentication mechanisms and missing security header implementations. It identifies insecure patterns and recommends secure coding practices to enforce proper access controls.

Yes, you can run a vulnerability scan on your project before deploying a new feature. Scanning your codebase ensures no critical security vulnerabilities or hardcoded secrets are introduced, protecting user data and maintaining system integrity.

To prevent SQL injection and XSS, recommended secure coding practices include implementing proper input validation, using parameterized queries, and applying security headers. The scanner identifies weak patterns and suggests these secure alternatives.
