Automatically review pull requests for security vulnerabilities and notify your team in Slack when issues are found.
Workflow Steps
GitHub Actions
Trigger on pull request
Configure a GitHub Action workflow that triggers whenever a pull request is created or updated. Set up the webhook to capture PR details including changed files, author, and diff content.
Semgrep
Scan code for vulnerabilities
Use Semgrep's security rules to automatically scan the changed code for common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, and insecure dependencies. Generate a detailed security report with severity levels.
Slack
Send security alert to team
Post findings to a designated security channel in Slack with PR link, vulnerability summary, affected files, and severity level. Include action items for the developer and reviewer.
