bundler-audit VS Brakeman

This Ruby gem is quite useful for detecting versions of gems that are known to be vulnerable to security issues. bundler-audit uses an open database of vulnerable gems called ruby-advisory-db and compares it to the versions that show up in your Gemfile.lock.

Let’s take the super famous gem bundler-audit, for instance. It works closely with bundler to provide patch-level verification for your project gems, such as vulnerability checks, insecure gem sources, etc.

Brakeman - “Brakeman detects security vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails applications via static analysis”

My team and I released Bearer a couple of weeks ago, a newer open and free alternative to Brakeman to check your code for security and privacy risks. In addition to Ruby/Rails, we also cover your JS/TS code, which allows you to use a single solution for your whole Rails application.

Brakeman is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications. It finds potential security issues in Rails applications by examining the Ruby code. Brakeman helps find and fix security holes before deploying your Rails app.

brakeman is another useful Ruby gem that is a static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications.

Another great lib for this is Brakeman, which can be installed in a very similar process and gives you even more detailed reports:

This is pretty easy to handle. In the case where a splatted array is the only argument to a method, we'll simply use the elements of the array as the argument list. (Check out the pull request here)
