Prevent accidental secret exposure

The image shows a terminal command and error message on a gradient blue background. The command is attempting to push code to a Git repository. The text reads: → ~/my_project git:(branch_name) git push remote: error GH009: Secrets detected! This push failed.
Push protection automatically blocks secrets before they reach your repository, keeping code clean without disrupting workflows.

Find and fix vulnerabilities in your code

The image displays a code snippet with an AI-suggested fix. The code is written in JavaScript and is shown on a blue gradient background. The original line of code, highlighted in red, reads: res.send('Hello ${req.query.name}!');. The AI-suggested fix, highlighted in green, reads: res.send('Hello ${escape(req.query.name)}!');. This change suggests using the escape function to sanitize the user input from req.query.name before sending it as part of the response.
Address security debt in your GitHub workflow with static analysis, AI remediation, and proactive vulnerability management.

The image displays a list of open and closed security issues in a software project management tool. There are 65 open issues and 12 closed issues. The list includes various vulnerabilities such as "axios Requests Vulnerable to Possible SSRF and Credential Leak," "body-parser vulnerable to denial of service when url encoding," "Express.js Open Redirect in malformed URLs," "Axios Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability," "Axios vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery," and "Potential XSS vulnerability in jQuery." Each issue entry includes the date it was opened, the package affected (e.g., axios, body-parser, Express.js), and labels such as 'Moderate' or 'Direct'.
