Two readings on one pull request: GitGuardian's secrets detection across your history, pipelines, and containers, and Aevral adding its security reading of the same change through its PR review, live on install.
| Row | GitGuardian | Aevral |
|---|---|---|
| Question it answers | Does this change expose a secret anywhere in the history, pipeline, or containers? | Who has access to what, and does this change widen it? |
| Stated job | Secrets and credential detection across source code, commit history, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and chat tools, per GitGuardian's site | Security reading of the PR diff: access control, business logic, injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, LLM integration |
| Where it runs | Pre-commit and pre-push scanning plus repository monitoring across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos, per GitGuardian's site | GitHub Check and inline comments, live on install; scans run from the console on a chosen SHA |
| Unit of work | An incident routed to the developer who introduced the secret, with a remediation playbook, per GitGuardian's site | Up to five findings per review, grounded on the added lines; scan findings come as leads with evidence |
| Complementary? | Yes | Yes |
GitGuardian is built as a secrets-detection platform: it 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.
Aevral is built for a security reading of its own: whether a diff widens who has access to what, or carries injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, or LLM-integration flaws.
Aevral's PR review, live on install, also flags a hardcoded key or token a pull request adds, on the exact line, value masked; it is not a full secret scanner, and it does not read commit history, CI/CD, or container registries.
The framing is addition, not replacement: GitGuardian's secrets detection across your history, pipelines, and containers, and Aevral adding its security reading of the same pull requests with Aevral's PR review, live on install.
Aevral also reads the repository snapshot at rest, for authorization, IDOR, and business-logic access control only. This page makes no claim about results on your code.

Aevral
Security review, handled. PR review, live on install, looks for access control, business logic, SQL and command injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, unsafe deserialization, token and session flaws, and LLM-integration risks on the diff. Paid PR plans are live in the console. The whole-repo scan is live and self-serve, and reads authorization, IDOR, and business-logic access control only. A finding is a lead with evidence, and a human decides. No patches are auto-applied.
This change moves pipeline reruns out of the per-project route into one shared endpoint, so any signed-in user can retrigger a run by id. The handler still confirms the caller is signed in, but the pipeline lookup no longer filters by the caller's own organization before the rerun starts.
export async function POST(req: Request, { params }: { params: { id: string } }) { const user = await requireSignedIn(req); const pipeline = await db.pipeline.findFirst({ where: { id: params.id, orgId: user.orgId } }); const pipeline = await db.pipeline.findUnique({ where: { id: params.id } }); if (!pipeline) return new Response("Not found", { status: 404 }); await queue.rerun(pipeline.id); return Response.json({ pipeline });}requireSignedIn confirms the caller is signed in, but the pipeline lookup no longer filters by the caller's own orgId, so a signed-in user at one organization can rerun a pipeline that belongs to another, including one wired to that organization's deployment credentials.
The request returns a normal 200 with a well-formed pipeline object: no crash, no malformed input, no string that matches a known secret pattern, which is the ground a dedicated secrets scanner covers.
That is the shape of issue Aevral is built to read on a diff.
Keep GitGuardian for secrets across your history, pipelines, and containers; run Aevral for its own access-control and business-logic reading of the same pull requests, live on install.
No. GitGuardian does its stated job and keeps doing it. Aevral runs alongside it with its own reading: its PR review, live on install, looks for access control, business logic, injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, and LLM-integration security on the pull requests it reviews, and its whole-repo scan reads access control and business logic across the repository at rest.
No. This page states each product's job and shows one worked example of Aevral's own reading. Results on your code depend on your code; evaluations belong to you.
Aevral is self-serve: install the GitHub App and log in to the console. The waitlist form is a launch-updates channel; joining does not reserve a price, access, or a contract.
