Bugsy is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that provides automatic security vulnerability remediation for your code. It is the community edition version of Mobb, the first vendor-agnostic automated security vulnerability remediation tool. Bugsy is designed to help developers quickly identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code.

Mobb is the first vendor-agnostic automatic security vulnerability remediation tool. It ingests SAST results from Checkmarx, CodeQL (GitHub Advanced Security), OpenText Fortify, and Snyk and produces code fixes for developers to review and commit to their code.

Bugsy has two modes - Scan (no SAST report needed) & Analyze (the user needs to provide a pre-generated SAST report from one of the supported SAST tools).

Scan

• Uses Checkmarx or Snyk CLI tools to run a SAST scan on a given open-source GitHub/GitLab/ADO repo
• Analyzes the vulnerability report to identify issues that can be remediated automatically
• Produces the code fixes and redirects the user to the fix report page on the Mobb platform

Analyze

• Analyzes the a Checkmarx/CodeQL/Fortify/Snyk vulnerability report to identify issues that can be remediated automatically
• Produces the code fixes and redirects the user to the fix report page on the Mobb platform

This is a community edition version that only analyzes public GitHub repositories. Analyzing private repositories is allowed for a limited amount of time. Bugsy does not detect any vulnerabilities in your code, it uses findings detected by the SAST tools mentioned above.

You can simply run Bugsy from the command line, using npx:

npx mobbdev

Made with ❤️  by Mobb

To run a new SAST scan on a repo and get fixes, run the Bugsy Scan command. Example:

npx mobbdev scan --repo https://github.com/mobb-dev/simple-vulnerable-java-project

To get fixes for a pre-generated SAST report, run the Bugsy Analyze command. Example: npx mobbdev analyze --scan-file sast_results.json --repo https://github.com/mobb-dev/simple-vulnerable-java-project

Bugsy will automatically generate a fix for each supported vulnerability identified in the results, and refer the developer to review and commit the fixes to their code.

To see all the options Bugsy allows, use the Scan or Analyze commands with the -h option:

npx mobbdev scan -h
npx mobbdev analyze -h

If you utilize SAST scans as part of the CI/CD pipeline, Bugsy can be easiy added and provide immediate fix for every issue detected. Here is a simple example of a command line that will run Bugsy in your pipeline:

npx mobbdev analyze --ci --scan-file $SAST_RESULTS_FILENAME --repo $CI_PROJECT_URL --ref $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME --api-key $MOBB_API_KEY

Install the dependencies and run the tests:

pnpm install

# or use npm run build:dev to watch for changes
pnpm run build

# or use npm test:watch to watch for changes
pnpm run test

If you're using VSCode, you can use the launch.json file to debug the code. Run the CLI tests configuration to continuously run and debug the tests.
