VulScan – Python security scanner that eliminates false positives using reachability analysis

Summary: VulScan reduces false positives in Python security scans by tracing actual code execution paths to identify only exploitable vulnerabilities. It provides precise file locations, fix recommendations, and compliance reports, completing scans in about two minutes.

What it does

VulScan analyzes Python code by parsing files, building an import graph, and tracing execution paths from entry points to dependencies. It flags only vulnerabilities in functions the code actually calls, avoiding irrelevant alerts.

Who it's for

It is designed for Python developers and security teams seeking accurate vulnerability detection without the noise of false positives.

Why it matters

By eliminating 80-90% of false positives common in traditional scanners, VulScan reduces alert fatigue and helps teams focus on real security issues efficiently.
