Bright Security Agent - GitHub Marketplace

2 min read Original article ↗

Bright Security Agent is an autonomous agent for dynamic application and API security testing directly in your GitHub environment. It analyzes your repository, builds and starts the application from source, automatically configures authentication, registers entrypoints, runs scans via Bright Repeater, and, if needed, proposes fixes for discovered vulnerabilities.

Key Features

  • Automated dynamic application security testing: Tests web apps, APIs, MCP tools, GRPC, GraphQL, etc...
  • AI-Powered Speed: Fast, intelligent scanning powered by deterministic scanner.
  • Remediation & Validation: In full mode, the agent not only finds vulnerabilities but also proposes fixes and validates them for up to 5 rounds.
  • Flexible Modes:
    • full: Complete cycle—startup, scan, remediation, validation (with harness fallback).
    • dynamic: Full startup and scan without fallback.
    • function: Scan individual functions via harness.
  • Security by Design: All actions are performed only against local targets (localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc.), never external/production addresses.
  • OIDC: Secure authentication via GitHub, no secrets stored in the repository.

Why Choose Bright

  • Actionable Security Insights: Get clear, prioritized findings with remediation guidance, not noise.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Detects both common and advanced vulnerabilities, including business logic flaws.
  • Seamless Developer Experience: Easy to use, integrates with your workflow, and requires minimal setup.
