  • Patent number: 11899792
    Abstract: Examples provide a single-command menu option for initiating security scanning of source code without user interaction with the security scan component performing the security scan. The single-command menu option can include a single-click menu option in a graphical user interface, a command-line utility or a web interface for performing web service calls to the security scanning service(s). A user selects source code for scanning. A zip file is created for the selected source code. The zip file is placed in a target directory or scan queue for upload to the security scan component. A user ID appended to the source code is utilized to return a summary report of the scan results to the user without user credentials or login to the system.

  • Patent number: 11599644
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing vulnerable software assets from being deployed by modifying the underlying source code in such a way that a build of the software asset will fail. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a system for securing software artifacts in a repository comprises a repository interface communicably coupleable to a software repository to retrieve an original artifact usable for building a software asset, and to replace the original artifact in the software repository with a modified artifact. A security scanner is configured to initiate a security scan of the original artifact and produce an output indicating the presence of a security vulnerability in the original artifact. An encoder is configured to reversibly modify the original artifact to produce the modified artifact, the modified artifact unusable for building the software asset.
