GitHub security scanner — catch vulnerabilities before they cause trouble

How does this template protect your GitHub code?

Stay ahead of security risks by scanning your GitHub repositories and getting instant Slack alerts if anything critical pops up. This template takes scanning and alerting off your plate — you’ll never have to pause work to run manual checks or chase down possible issues. It runs in the background, helping you spot vulnerabilities before they become costly problems.

What happens when a vulnerability is found?

Critical findings are instantly summarized and sent to your chosen Slack channel. Instead of sifting through endless logs or emails, you'll get a clear notification telling you exactly what the issue is and where it originated. That way, your team can react fast and keep your projects secure without missing a beat.

Can you customize the alerts and schedule?

Yes — you control when scans happen and how alerts reach you. Set it to run on a schedule that fits your workflow and pick the Slack channel that works best for your team. Whether you want daily checks or just on-demand, everything’s fully configurable, no technical skills needed.

How do you set up the GitHub security scanner?

Getting started is simple. You’ll need access to your GitHub repositories and a Slack workspace. Connect these once, choose your schedule, and let CodeWords handle the rest. The setup only takes a few minutes — after that, your code’s security stays on autopilot.
