System for security scanning code with minimal user interface

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• appending, by a code scanning manager implemented on a computing device, a user identifier (ID) to selected source code in a file, wherein the user ID is an identifier associated with a user;
• in response to appending the user ID to the selected source code, generating, by the code scanning manager, a zip file including the file including the selected source code with the appended user ID;
• based on a selection of a single-command menu option, uploading, by a scan initiation component, the zip file including the file including the selected source code with the appended user ID to a target directory;
• transferring, by a listener component, the selected source code from the target directory to a security scan component associated with a remote computing device in response to detecting a presence of the selected source code in the target directory;
• extracting, by an extraction component, the user ID from the selected source code within the zip file;
• and
• transmitting, by a results component via an email server, a summary scan results report to an email account of the user associated with the user ID extracted from the selected source code on condition the security scanning of the selected source code is complete, wherein the email account is associated with the user ID extracted from the selected source code;
• receiving, by a user interface device, a request to access the transmitted summary scan results report, and
• determining, by the results component, to grant the request to access the transmitted summary scan results report based on a requesting user ID associated with the request matching the appended user ID to the selected source code in the file.

A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer readable program code embodied therein that, upon execution by a processor, causes the processor to:

• append, by a code scanning manager implemented on a computing device, a user identifier (ID) to selected source code in a file, wherein the user ID is an identifier associated with a user;
• in response to appending the user ID to the selected source code, generate, by the code scanning manager, a zip file including the file including the selected source code with the appended user ID;
• output a single-command menu option for initiating a security scan on the zip file including the selected source code with the appended user ID via a single activation of the single-command menu option;
• based on a selection of the single command menu option, upload, by a scan initiation component, the zip file including the file including the selected source code with the appended user ID to a target directory, the selected source code including the user identifier (ID) appended to the selected source code;
• transfer, by a listener component, the selected source code from the target directory to a security scan component associated with a remote computing device in response to detecting a presence of the selected source code in the target directory;
• extract, by an extraction component, the user ID from the selected source code in the zip file;
• transmit, by a results component via an email server, a summary scan results report to an email account of the user associated with the user ID extracted from the selected source code on condition the security scanning of the selected source code is complete, wherein the email account is associated with the user ID extracted from the selected source code;
• receive, by a user interface device, a request to access the transmitted summary scan results report, and
• determine, by the results component, to grant the request to access the transmitted summary scan results report based on a requesting user ID associated with the request matching the appended user ID to the selected source code in the file.
