Ship Safe is a newly released open-source security scanner designed for modern software development teams. It operates directly within a local repository to detect security vulnerabilities across various components of a software project.
The scanner targets a broad range of potential issues, including those in application code, AI agents, MCP configurations, prompts, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, secrets, and cloud-adjacent configurations. It offers AI-backed red-team modes, which can be configured to use a selected provider or run entirely offline for core checks. The tool also provides interactive features for scanning, fixing, and querying within a single session.
Ship Safe emphasizes local operation, allowing scans to be performed without requiring signup or API keys for core functionalities. It provides findings with severity levels, file locations, evidence, and recommended remediation steps. The tool can propose fixes as diffs, allowing developers to review and approve changes before they are applied, with the option to undo previous fixes.
The scanner integrates with CI/CD workflows, enabling teams to gate risky builds and upload SARIF results to GitHub code scanning. It is built to support AI-native applications, addressing risks in agents, MCP servers, prompts, RAG flows, and managed-agent configurations. Ship Safe is compatible with various programming languages and configurations, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and infrastructure files.
