Secrets detection

GitGuardian and Aevral, at a glance

GitGuardian scans source code, commit history, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and chat tools for over 550 secret types, then routes a found credential to the developer who introduced it, per GitGuardian's site.

GitGuardian guards the secrets: it scans source code, commit history, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and chat tools for over 550 secret types, then routes an incident to the developer who introduced it, per GitGuardian's site.

Aevral guards the access rules: its PR review, live on install, reads the diff for access control, business logic, injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, and LLM-integration flaws, and also flags a hardcoded key or token a pull request adds, on the exact line, value masked.

It is not a full secret scanner.

GitGuardian focuses on

Detecting over 550 secret types across source code, commit history, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and chat tools, per GitGuardian's site.
Routing a found secret to the developer who introduced it, with remediation playbooks, per GitGuardian's site.
A free Starter plan for up to 25 developers, per GitGuardian's pricing page.

Aevral adds alongside

The access reading of the same pull requests: dropped ownership checks, caller-controlled scope or object references, and gates that went from a role to a login.
Live on install: up to five findings per review, grounded on the added lines, posted as a Check plus inline comments. It never blocks a merge.
A fix prompt you hand to the coding agent you already use, with a human reviewing before merge.

Run them together

Let GitGuardian watch every secret across your history, pipelines, and containers; let Aevral add its access-control and business-logic reading of the same pull requests, live on install.
