Key point

Vercel's open-source security review tool deepsec performs initial setup and the first check with a single command.

Details

Vercel's open-source security review tool deepsec has been improved to perform everything from repository setup to the first security review with a single npx deepsec init command.

The init command automates the following tasks:

  • Creation of an isolated .deepsec/ workspace and dependencies
  • Configuration of model access via Vercel AI Gateway or custom provider keys
  • Generation of codebase and attack surface descriptions
  • Detection using default patterns, followed by generation of additional scan patterns to cover missing areas
  • Execution of AI security reviews on detected files

The configuration process is saved at checkpoints step by step. Even if the task is interrupted due to process termination, step failure, or cost or runtime limits, rerunning init allows resuming from the last completed step.
