QUESTIONS
The short honest answers.
Does ScanRepo clone or execute the repository?
No. It downloads a tarball snapshot of one commit and runs static analysis only — nothing is cloned, installed, or executed on your machine or ours.
What does a “safe” verdict mean?
No known malicious patterns were found. Scores are heuristics, not guarantees — clever malware can look boring, so treat safe as “nothing found”, never as proof.
What does ScanRepo detect?
Credential theft, data exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, supply-chain attacks (postinstall scripts, malicious deps), injection patterns — plus repos and accounts from a curated list of known scams.
Which platforms are supported?
Public GitHub and Bitbucket repositories. Paste a URL and get a 0–100 risk score with a verdict in seconds — no signup, results are cached and shared publicly.
Is ScanRepo free?
Yes. The web scanner and the CLI are free, and the detection corpus is open source.
Can I run it in CI?
Yes — npx scanrepo github.com/owner/repo exits 0 for safe, 1 for suspicious, 2 for dangerous, and --json gives machine-readable output for pipelines.
