CodeVigil

AI-powered security vulnerability scanning for source code. CodeVigil combines a VS Code extension with an embedded MCP server to scan your code for vulnerability patterns, check dependencies against CVE databases (OSV.dev + NVD), and render results inline in Copilot chat, editor diagnostics, and a rich WebView dashboard.

Features

  • Code Pattern Scanning — Detects vulnerability patterns across 15 languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, Kotlin, Scala)
  • Secret Detection — Finds hardcoded API keys, tokens, and credentials
  • Dependency CVE Checking — Cross-references your dependencies against OSV.dev and NVD databases
  • Editor Diagnostics — Squiggly lines and hover tooltips for detected vulnerabilities
  • Copilot Chat Integration — @codevigil chat participant with scan, deps, report, and status commands
  • Security Dashboard — WebView panel with severity charts, clickable findings, and dependency CVE tables
  • SARIF Export — Export scan results in SARIF format for CI/CD integration

Usage

  1. Open a supported source file
  2. Type @codevigil scan in the Copilot chat panel, or press Ctrl+Shift+V / Cmd+Shift+V
  3. Review findings inline and in the Security Dashboard

Commands

Command Description
@codevigil scan Scan active file for vulnerabilities
