15+ new code scanning integrations with open source security tools

GitHub has expanded its code scanning capabilities, a feature in GitHub Advanced Security available for free on GitHub.com for public repositories, by introducing over 15 new integrations with open-source security tools. These integrations, contributed by members of the open-source community, now support additional languages such as PHP, Swift, Kotlin, Ruby, and more, enhancing static analysis for a wide range of programming environments. Key tools include Detekt for Kotlin, MobSF for mobile security testing, and Brakeman for Ruby on Rails, among others, with many offering GitHub Actions and Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF) support for seamless integration. The initiative emphasizes community collaboration and provides users with comprehensive tools to detect vulnerabilities in their codebase directly within the GitHub interface, encouraging contributions to the ecosystem by offering a straightforward process for integrating additional static analysis tools and fuzzers.
