PROFILE

Miguel Neiva

Worked on the Checkmarx/2ms repository, delivering features and fixes that enhanced API key detection, secret scanning, and vulnerability reporting. Applied Go and Python to expand regex-based detection to XML formats, optimize scan performance, and automate contribution workflows using GitHub Actions. Improved security by adding token detection rules for Clojars and GitHub App Tokens, refining code fragment analysis, and updating configuration management for broader coverage. Addressed memory regressions and reporting accuracy, while standardizing issue templates and triage processes. The work focused on backend development, automation, and CI/CD, resulting in more reliable, efficient, and secure code analysis for enterprise-scale repositories.

In May 2025, two critical bug fixes were delivered for Checkmarx/2ms, tightening secret detection and code fragment processing to improve security posture and data reliability. The work reduces false negatives in secret scanning and strengthens end-of-file handling and newline processing, while also updating CI checks to align with newer security practices. These changes directly enhance developer confidence, reduce risk of secret leakage, and improve the robustness of code fragment analysis in security scans.
