GitHub Authentication & CLI Setup

Configure GitHub CLI and Personal Access Tokens for private repository auditing and 1-click PR creation.

Remote VCS

1. GitHub CLI Setup (Recommended)

Install and authenticate the official GitHub CLI to allow Nadhi Audit to create forks and pull requests automatically:

Terminal / Code Snippet
# 1. Install GitHub CLI brew install gh # 2. Authenticate with GitHub gh auth login # 3. Verify authentication status gh auth status

2. Connecting Private Repositories via PAT

If you do not use GitHub CLI, generate a Read-Only Personal Access Token (repo scope) and authenticate via chat or Settings:

Terminal / Code Snippet
# In Nadhi Audit Chat or Terminal: run(command="vcs auth github ghp_yourPersonalAccessTokenHere")

Compliance Frameworks & Toggles

Switch between global software security standards and regional privacy compliance mandates in one click.

4 Regimes

1. Vibe Audit — OWASP Top 10:2025 / CWE (Global Default)

The default regime, against the OWASP list finalised in January 2026. Covers the classic vulnerability set — SQL injection (CWE-89), OS command injection (CWE-78), XSS (CWE-79), path traversal (CWE-22), disabled TLS verification (CWE-295), hardcoded credentials (CWE-798) — and adds the classes that dominate AI-generated code, where the defect is usually a control that is ABSENT rather than a line that is wrong. Four lanes run over one tree: source patterns; row-level security replayed from your migrations (tables served with no access policy); the dependency manifest against its lockfile (packages that have never resolved, including hallucinated names); and, if you enable it, a read-only check of what your deployed backend actually enforces. Findings that combine across lanes are reported as a single chain. Note the 2025 renumbering: SSRF is no longer its own category (CWE-918 now sits in A01 Broken Access Control), A03 is Software Supply Chain Failures rather than Injection, and A10 Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions is new.

2. India DPDP Act 2023 & Rules 2025

Audits data fiduciary obligations: Section 8(5) reasonable security safeguards, Rule 6 security log retention (minimum 1 year), personal data in logs (CWE-532), and data principal rights.

3. US HIPAA Health Compliance

Audits protected health information (PHI) safeguards: Section 164.312 transmission encryption, access control, audit logging, and cleartext medical identifiers.

4. European Union GDPR

Audits Article 32 security of processing, Article 30 records, and Chapter V cross-border transfer controls.

How to Switch Frameworks

Select your active framework in Nadhi Audit Settings, or pass the framework name directly when running an audit:

Terminal / Code Snippet
# In Chat or MCP: /audit /path/to/project security /audit /path/to/project dpdp /audit /path/to/project hipaa /audit /path/to/project gdpr

Automated AST-Verified Code Fixing

How Nadhi Audit fixes vulnerabilities safely on an isolated branch with compiler and judge verification.

Multi-Strategy Repair

Multi-Strategy Remediation Loop

When you run /fix or full_audit, Nadhi Audit executes a LangGraph state machine with 3 progressive repair strategies:

  • Pre-Fix False Positive Filter: Local model evaluates finding context. Skips test fixtures, mocks, and protocol requirements.
  • Strategy 1 (Direct Find/Replace): Precise line replacement with line-prefix normalization.
  • Strategy 2 (Contextual Block Repair): Expands context window and injects compiler feedback to prevent repeating syntax mistakes.
  • Strategy 3 (AST / ReAct Graph): Scoped function-level AST transformation.

Compiler & AST Syntax Gate

Before any code edit is kept, Nadhi Audit re-parses and tests the patched file using language interpreters in check-only mode:

Terminal / Code Snippet
• JavaScript / TypeScript: node --check • Python: python3 -m py_compile • PHP: php -l • Ruby: ruby -c • JSON: JSON.parse validation

LLM-as-a-Judge Review

The local model compares the original and patched diff. It validates that the vulnerability is removed, program semantics are preserved, and no undefined variables were introduced. Clean edits are committed to the isolated nadhi branch with DCO sign-offs.
