GitHub Security

Find and fix security issues as you code

Write more secure code from the start with security analysis built into your development workflow. GitHub Advanced Security helps you find and address security issues in your code earlier, improving the security of your projects.

A security review with every git push

Code scanning scans your code for security issues as you write it, and integrates the results natively into the developer workflow. Schedule security analysis to run on every push and every pull request on a schedule or ad-hoc.

Build with 3 in-progress steps

Find critical vulnerabilities and eradicate them, forever

CodeQL is a revolutionary semantic code engine that queries your code as data. Find security issues deep in your code. CodeQL’s powerful analysis can trace data flows through your application to identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection and remote code execution. 

Test highlighting code and displaying the heading "Code injection" and description "Interpreting unsanitized user input as code allows a malicious user arbitrary code execution."

Discover and manage hard-coded secrets

Secret scanning watches your repositories for known secret formats and notifies you as soon as secrets are found.

Command line "git push" with response "Secrets detected! This push failed" displaying the active secret

Secure software from the start

Whether you’re contributing to an open source project or choosing new tools for your team, your security needs are covered.
