GitHub Code Scanning Now Uses Machine Learning (ML) to Alert Developers To Potential Security Vulnerabilities in Their Code

GitHub has recently announced the launch of their new code scanning feature, which uses machine learning (ML) to alert developers to potential security vulnerabilities in their code. This feature is designed to make it easier for developers to identify and address potential security issues before they become a problem.

The code scanning feature works by analyzing code as they are uploaded to GitHub and searching for security vulnerabilities. It can detect flaws such as SQL injection, buffer overflow, cross-site scripting, and insecure use of cryptographic algorithms. When a vulnerability is detected, the feature sends a warning to the developer, along with recommendations for how to fix the issue.

One of the benefits of this new feature is that it helps to reduce the time it takes to identify and address security vulnerabilities. The code scanning feature also provides additional context about the source code, making it easier for developers to understand the potential security implications of their code.

This code scanning feature is the latest in GitHub’s suite of security features, which are designed to help protect users from potential security threats. By using machine learning to detect security vulnerabilities, GitHub is making it easier for developers to ensure their code is secure and compliant with industry standards.
