poutine

Created by BoostSecurity.io, poutine is a security scanner that detects misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in the build pipelines of a repository. It supports parsing CI workflows from GitHub Actions and Gitlab CI/CD. When given an access token with read-level access, poutine can analyze all the repositories of an organization to quickly gain insights about the security posture of the organization's software supply chain.

See the documentation for a list of rules currently supported by poutine.

Why poutine?

In french, the word "poutine", when not refering to the dish, can be used to mean "messy". Inspired by the complexity and intertwined dependencies of modern Open Source projects, poutine reflects both a nod to our Montreal roots and the often messy, complex nature of securing software supply chains.
