Summary
Gecko Security, a Y Combinator-backed startup, introduces an AI-powered static analysis tool that leverages LLMs to identify complex business logic and multi-step vulnerabilities in code, which traditional scanners often miss. The tool has already discovered 30+ CVEs in projects like Ollama, Gradio, and Ragflow. It is available for testing on any open-source repository.
