To scan a git diff for security vulnerabilities, you can run a static analysis audit on code changes to identify dangerous defaults, type confusion, and silent failures. It provides severity-based reporting to ensure secure coding practices before merging.

Static analysis for type confusion and dangerous defaults evaluates code changes through specific developer perspectives to uncover hidden traps. It categorizes vulnerabilities into algorithm choice traps, configuration cliffs, and stringly-typed security flaws.

Yes, you need the spectra CLI to perform static analysis on pull requests. The tool relies on this CLI to evaluate git diffs and generate severity-based reports on insecure patterns that might bypass authentication or weaken encryption.

The best way to audit code changes for insecure patterns like configuration cliffs is to apply a security lens analysis. This evaluates code changes through multiple perspectives to identify specific risks and ensure secure coding practices during local development workflows.

Yes, you can use static analysis to detect silent failures in local development workflows. By auditing code changes, the analysis identifies silent failures and other hidden traps before code is committed or submitted for a pull request review.
