Day 3 update: the bot is working.

I opened a PR with hardcoded AWS and OpenAI keys in the diff. CloudSecurityBot reviewed it automatically and left this comment:

"🔴 Critical — llm_config.py, Line 2: Hardcoded API key found. Remove and retrieve from environment variables or AWS Secrets Manager."

File. Line number. Issue. Fix. No manual review needed.


When I posted Day 1, someone from the community pointed out the real failure modes most security tools miss in AI repos:

  • Model endpoints with no auth or rate limits
  • Overly broad IAM on storage and inference paths
  • Prompt injection exposure through retrieval and tool use
  • Logging sensitive prompts into places they should never land

Those are exactly what this bot is built to catch. Not just leaked keys — the full picture of how AI repos get compromised.


This is the core problem: AI startups move fast and skip security reviews. One exposed key or misconfigured IAM policy can cost thousands. CloudSecurityBot installs once and runs on every PR forever.

What's next:

  • Dev.to launch post
  • 10 founding member spots at $15/month
  • GitHub Marketplace submission

If you build on AWS or use AI APIs and want early access, comment below. First 10 get founding member pricing.
