Really cool - I was just reading this and worrying about cross scripting attacks: https://adamj.eu/tech/2020/02/18/safely-including-data-for-j...

Could see your site being really useful as a linting/ci tool. Is that where you're planning on taking it?


Hi - thanks for the comment. That's not a direction I've considered yet, but sounds interesting. Current focus is to redevelop the backend logic to make adding new checks easier.


I’ve just released an app you can use to scan your Django site for common security errors. The core security checking logic is lifted from the now defunct PonyCheckUp site but I have rewritten it for the latest Python and Django versions.

The initial release is an MVP that brings back the scanning functionality of the original site, but I’m currently working on v2 which is a complete rewrite that enables new checks to be added easily. I’ve got lots of ideas about how this can be improved and would be keen to hear from others too.

Source code for the current website is on GitHub (https://github.com/djcheckup/djcheckup.com) although I’m working on the v2 code which should be ready to share in a few weeks time.
