Build-Scanner is a heuristic, regex-based static source code scanner targeting common vulnerabilities in modern JavaScript web applications, including SQL and NoSQL injection, GraphQL misconfigurations, permissive CORS policies, unsafe Content Security Policy (CSP) settings, and missing CSRF protections. It operates by scanning source code folders or files and can be integrated into CI pipelines via a GitHub Action. The tool supports framework-aware detection for Express, Next.js, and Vite/CRA projects, identifying specific risky code patterns such as unparameterized queries, wildcard CORS origins, unsafe CSP directives, and unprotected state-changing routes. It is designed as a fast first-pass tool to catch common mistakes early in the development lifecycle, not as a full replacement for comprehensive security testing. The project is currently in pre-release with no official version 1.0 tag and no known exploits in the wild.

The tool itself does not represent a vulnerability but rather aids developers and security teams in identifying and mitigating common vulnerabilities before code reaches production. By enabling early detection of risky code patterns, it can reduce the likelihood of exploitable security flaws in web applications. There are no reported exploits or direct security impacts from the tool itself.

This is a security tool intended to improve vulnerability detection. No patch or remediation is required. Users should consider integrating Build-Scanner into their development and CI workflows to identify and address common security issues early. Since it is a heuristic scanner, findings should be reviewed carefully to confirm true positives. It complements but does not replace full static or dynamic application security testing and manual code review.
