Vercel·self-hosted·drives a coding agent·launched 2026-05-04
Open-source security review tool. Static analysis shortlists security-sensitive files, then coding-agent models investigate each one, tracing data flows and checking for mitigations, and the run emits ranked findings with severity ratings. Runs on your own machine with optional fanout to Vercel Sandboxes.
MoreHide details
- Surface
- CLI (npx deepsec init), run locally, with optional remote execution on Vercel Sandboxes
- Engines
- Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 through Vercel AI Gateway by default; bring your own key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or a custom HTTPS provider) with --model-auth direct, or use an existing Claude or Codex subscription
- Codebase context
- static analysis shortlists candidate files, then per-file agent investigation; runs on Vercel's own monorepos routinely scale past 1,000 concurrent sandboxes, and an interrupted run resumes without re-analysing finished files
- Pricing
- free and open source; you pay only for model usage, either through AI Gateway or your own key
- License
- Apache-2.0
- Open source
- yes
Vercel calls deepsec 'a security harness powered by coding agents', which collides with this repo's harnesses dataset, where harness means the coding agent itself. deepsec is a consumer of harnesses rather than a member of that set: it owns a fixed job (find vulnerabilities), drives coding agents as an engine, and never authors features. This entry is the case that motivated the topic.
