Open Source Code Scanning | BetterQA

Open Source Code Scanning

Secure your software supply chain by scanning open source components for vulnerabilities, license issues, and quality risks. Our comprehensive open source code scanning identifies threats in dependencies before they impact your applications.

Open Source Scanning Capabilities

Dependency Analysis

Map your complete dependency tree including transitive dependencies. Identify vulnerable components across npm, Maven, PyPI, RubyGems, and other package ecosystems.

Vulnerability Detection

Real-time scanning against multiple vulnerability databases including NVD, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database to catch known security flaws in your dependencies.

License Compliance

Automated license scanning ensures your use of open source complies with legal requirements. Detect GPL, AGPL, and other copyleft licenses that may conflict with your policies.

Technical Debt Analysis

Assess code quality, maintenance status, and community health of dependencies. Identify outdated or abandoned projects that pose future risks.

Our Open Source Scanning Process

Component Discovery

Automatically identify all open source components in your codebase across multiple languages and package managers.

Risk Assessment

Analyze each component for security vulnerabilities, license risks, and quality issues using multiple data sources.

Prioritization

Rank issues by severity, exploitability, and business impact to focus remediation efforts where they matter most.

Continuous Monitoring

Monitor for new vulnerabilities in your dependencies and alert teams when immediate action is required.

Why Open Source Code Scanning Is Critical

Supply Chain Security

With 90% of applications containing open source code, scanning these components is essential for supply chain security. Detect compromised packages, malicious code injections, and vulnerable dependencies before they reach production.

Accelerate Development Safely

Developers can confidently use open source components knowing they're automatically vetted for security and compliance. Shift security left without slowing down innovation or time-to-market.

Reduce Legal Risk

Avoid costly license violations and intellectual property disputes. Our scanning identifies license conflicts early, helping you make informed decisions about component selection and usage.
