I scanned 8 popular open source repos with one command. Here's what I found.
A developer created a command-line interface (CLI) tool to scan popular open source repositories for various metrics. The tool analyzes aspects such as stack detection, dependency mapping, and security checks without requiring configuration. The results from scanning eight projects revealed a common issue of unvalidated API routes across many of them.
- ▪The CLI tool scans codebases for stack detection, dependency mapping, and security checks.
- ▪Eight well-known open source projects were analyzed, revealing a significant number of API routes without validation imports.
- ▪The projects included various technologies such as TypeScript, Next.js, and Prisma, with some having large schemas.

One command, no config, nothing leaves your machine. I ran it against 8 well-known open source projects to see what it picks up. 1.
