Specialized security scanner for AI-generated code
Specialized security scanner for AI-generated code
A security scanner specifically designed to detect and address vulnerabilities unique to AI-generated code. This tool would complement traditional security scanners by focusing on AI-specific issues, providing comprehensive security coverage for developers using AI tools.
Key Features
- Detection of hallucinated packages and prompt injection surfaces.
- Identification of insecure LLM output handling.
- Scanning for overly permissive agent configurations.
- Integration with existing development workflows via CLI and GitHub Actions.

Security vulnerabilities in AI-generated code
AI tools are increasingly used to generate code, but traditional security scanners often miss specific vulnerabilities unique to AI-generated code. These vulnerabilities include hallucinated packages, prompt injection surfaces, insecure LLM output handling, and overly permissive agent configurations. Developers using AI tools may unknowingly introduce these vulnerabilities into their projects, leading to potential security risks.Sources (1)
Alright let me have it. I've been working on [Oculum](https://oculum.dev) which is basically a security scanner specifically for code generated by AI tools (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, Copilot etc). It checks for stuff traditional scanners miss: hallucinated packages, prompt injection surfaces, insecure LLM output handling, overly permissive agent configs, that kind of thing. CLI + GitHub Action, 40+ detection categories, has a free tier, The pitch is basically: Snyk and SonarQube catch classic vulns but don't know what a system prompt is. AI tools ship the same insecure patterns over and over. Oculum catches the gap. Where I think I'm vulnerable (pun intended): * still in beta so detection coverage has blind spots for sure * landing page could probably use work, or just Web pages overall, have not been focusing on those much * no autonomous fix suggestions yet, just detection * competing in a space where Snyk has like a billion dollars Roast the product, the site, the positioning, whatever. Genuinely want the honest feedback, I'd rather hear it here than figure it out the hard way.
