Virgil is an AI-assisted security audit platform for source code. Security at this moment essential for vibe coded applications and indie developers. It runs the scan in a sandbox, clusters duplicate findings, drops unreachable dependency CVEs, and ranks what to fix this week, with explanations grounded in your actual code. Open source, pay per audit, 3 free scans. You can find the web app at virgilhq.app, or download the cli: pipx install virgilhq&&virgil login&&virgil scan
Hey PH — maker here.
I built Virgil because every security scanner I'd used had the same failure mode: it finds everything, so you stop reading it. 200+ findings on a codebase, most of them either duplicates of the same root cause or CVEs in packages your code never actually imports.
What Virgil does differently:
- Locked-down sandbox (--network=none, read-only, non-root)
- Clusters findings that share a root cause into one item instead of N
- Checks whether a vulnerable dependency is actually reachable from your code (5 language families). Unreachable CVEs get demoted, not deleted
- Ranks what survives into a short queue with a one-line rationale each, using CISA's known-exploited-vulnerabilities list to outrank theoretical criticals over real-world-exploited ones
- Grounds every explanation in the actual code slice, so it's not just generic advice
- You can talk to Virgil, ask it for advice, what the findings mean.
3 free audits on signup -> no card required, then pay per audit. Nothing recurring.
The repo's open source (Apache-2.0) if you want to see how the pipeline works: https://github.com/ayaanmaliksgi.... Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's fought with false-positive fatigue on SAST/SCA tools before.
