Building a Deterministic Security Scanner for AI-Generated Code
TL;DR: I built TruffleKit, a CLI security scanner that catches 22 vulnerability classes in under 2 seconds with zero false positives. Here's how the scanning engine works under the hood.
AI code generation is producing more production code than ever. But AI models are trained on public code — which means they reproduce the same security mistakes the open-source ecosystem has been making for decades.
In my tests, 73% of AI-generated code snippets contain at least one security vulnerability that a standard linter would completely miss.
I couldn't find a tool that was fast, deterministic, and had zero false positives. So I built one.
