Governor: Extensible CLI for security-auditing AI-generated applications (github.com)

Governor is a newly announced extensible command-line interface (CLI) designed for security auditing of AI-generated applications, providing essential tools for organizations that handle numerous source code submissions. This tool enables repeatable security audits with machine-readable outputs, allows for built-in and custom organizational checks, and introduces a check-extraction workflow from existing security documents. With features such as a terminal-native progress UI and artifact outputs in multiple formats (markdown, JSON, HTML), Governor aims to enhance the consistency and quality of security reviews across teams. The significance of Governor lies in its ability to integrate AI-driven checks and deterministic rule-based evaluations, bridging the gap between human oversight and automated auditing. It supports multiple AI profiles, enabling flexibility based on organizational needs. Users benefit from features like bounded concurrency during checks and an isolated execution environment to ensure security during operations. Released under the MIT License, Governor positions itself as a crucial tool for improving the security landscape of AI applications, although users are cautioned to validate its findings due to the potential for inaccuracies in AI outputs.
