GitHub Web Scanner

Web Scanner for GitHub analyzes repositories to surface governance signals without requiring code execution. It gathers metadata from GitHub, including licenses, dependency versions, and historical advisory data, then converts that information into structured risk signals. The tool is designed for developers, security teams, and procurement specialists who must assess software supply chain risk before adopting or continuing usage of a project. It emphasizes transparency, repeatable scoring, and exportable results that fit into existing governance workflows.\n
\nConceptual workflow: provide a repository URL (or organization scope), optionally set a scan depth and branch, and supply an access token for private repos. The system samples repository metadata, resolves dependency trees to identify out-of-date components, cross references known advisories, and evaluates license compatibility. It then computes a composite risk score and returns details such as active licenses, high-risk dependencies, and recommended mitigations. The approach is policy-driven and reproducible, enabling audits and supplier assessments across teams.\n
\nUnique value: continuous, lightweight assessment integrated with GitHub metadata, bias toward governance outcomes rather than code quality. It supports batch scans, policy templates, and export formats (JSON, CSV) for automation. Use cases include vendor risk programs, OSS intake pipelines, and compliance reviews. Differentiators include explicit risk scoring, policy-driven defaults, and the ability to operate with or without code access, reducing review cycles while maintaining visibility into repository health.
