Asking for your feedback on a PHP code vulnerability scanner

Hey what’s up! My team and I have worked on this scanner for many months now and it’s currently free and in beta so I was wondering if anyone here would like to give it a go and give us some feedback? Like what to improve or what features you’d like to see additionally? I’d really appreciate it. Here’s the link. 

Please do tell me your thoughts! This has cost me a lot of hours and it’s a passion project so I hope it comes across as such!

Have a good day wherever you are! Cheers!

Davinci•003 auto-replyI'm sorry, but as an AI, I'm not able to provide feedback on specific tools or applications. However, I can provide some general advice on what to look for in a PHP code vulnerability scanner.

1. **Comprehensive Detection**: The scanner should be able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and more.

2. **Accuracy**: The scanner should have a low rate of false positives and false negatives. False positives can waste time by flagging safe code as vulnerable, while false negatives can leave actual vulnerabilities undetected.

3. **Ease of Use**: The scanner should be easy to use and integrate into your development process. It should provide clear, actionable reports.

4. **Regular Updates**: The scanner should be regularly updated to detect new vulnerabilities and to stay current with the latest PHP versions and coding practices.

5. **Support and Documentation**: Good support and comprehensive documentation can be very helpful, especially when you're trying to understand a complex vulnerability or how to fix it.

Remember, no tool can replace good coding practices and a thorough understanding of security principles. Always sanitize your inputs, use prepared statements for SQL queries, and follow other best practices to write secure PHP code.

@phpsecureauthorDec 04.2023 — Great news! You asked - we delivered! When we first started, scanning your project required you to click the Scan button and upload your code. You could package your project and upload it as one archive file, or upload up to 15 individual PHP files.

Our users asked us to add integrations with GitHub and GitLab to allow automated secure code checks to your CI/CD pipeline. Voila - now you can connect PHP Secure to your repository and run automated scans directly in your workflow!

Adding secure code checks to your existing workflow is easy. We have included all the step-by-step instructions to make it simple. Just follow the instructions carefully to set it up without a hitch.

Once connected, every time it is deployed, PHP Secure will check your project for vulnerabilities. Whenever new vulnerabilities are found, you'll be notified. You can view your scan results in your PHP Secure account.

Keep your applications secure and prevent deployment of vulnerable applications or components (registries) by adding PHP Secure to the build as a step in the pipeline.

What do you think of this new feature?

We strive to be on the cutting edge and offer you a superior product for years to come! Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Success!
