What is Rafter?

Rafter is a security scanning tool designed to identify vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and security issues within GitHub repositories. The tool performs automated scans of codebases and provides AI-assisted recommendations for fixing discovered problems. It's aimed at development teams and individual developers who want to maintain secure code without manually reviewing every commit for potential security risks. The platform scans for common security concerns including hardcoded API keys, passwords, tokens, and other sensitive data that shouldn't be committed to version control. It also identifies known vulnerabilities in dependencies and code patterns that could lead to security exploits. The AI-powered fix suggestions help developers understand the issue and implement corrections quickly, reducing the time between detection and remediation. Rafter integrates with GitHub repositories to provide continuous monitoring, making it suitable for teams practising DevSecOps who want security checks integrated into their development workflow rather than as an afterthought.

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Automates security scanning that would otherwise require manual code review
  • AI-generated fixes reduce time between detection and remediation
  • Helps prevent accidental exposure of secrets and credentials
  • Integrates with existing GitHub workflows

Limitations

  • Limited to GitHub repositories only
  • AI suggestions may require developer review and customisation
  • Effectiveness depends on the comprehensiveness of its vulnerability database
  • May generate false positives that need manual verification

Use cases
