Show HN: I built a PR listener and ruleset to detect malicious code in CI/CD

13 points

a year ago

I built a GitHub app that detects it in pull requests, notifies or blocks them. Alongside it, I published a Semgrep ruleset for any stage of the CI/CD.

I started this after getting frustrated by all the FUD around malicious code - lots of noise, little effort to solve it. Having said that, it's still a major attack vector - a stored RCE, with the codebase itself as the sink.

Feedback is appreciated.
