SecureLens AI — Backend

SecureLens AI Backend is the core security engine that powers the SecureLens AI agent. It performs live security analysis of applications and generates structured risk insights, issue explanations, and remediation guidance.


What This Backend Does

The SecureLens backend acts as the security brain of the system.

It:

  • Scans live applications via URL
  • Checks for security misconfigurations
  • Detects common vulnerabilities (headers, exposure, HTTPS issues, etc.)
  • Assigns a security score
  • Categorizes risks into layers
  • Generates human-readable fix suggestions

This backend is designed to evolve into an AI-driven autonomous remediation agent.


Security Layers Modeled

SecureLens structures vulnerabilities into logical layers:

Layer Purpose
Transport Layer HTTPS, HSTS, secure communication
Server Config Layer Security headers, CORS, policies
Exposure Layer Sensitive endpoints, leaked paths

🛠 Tech Stack

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • HTTP analysis via Requests
  • JSON-based API output
  • Designed for future AI integration

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Rarebuffalo/securelens-backend
cd securelens-backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --reload

API Endpoint

POST /scan

Scans an application URL.

Request Body:

{
  "url": "https://example.com"
}

Example Usage:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/scan" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"url": "https://google.com"}'

Future Roadmap

  • AI agent for auto-remediation
  • Codebase & deployment scanning
  • Mobile app security checks
  • CI/CD pipeline integration
