How to Gate Your CI Pipeline on Quantum Vulnerability — with quantum-audit

Part 3 of the quantum-audit series. Part 1 | Part 2 * 🌐 Tool: quantum-audit-site.vercel.app Most security tools tell you there's a problem. Then you close the tab and forget about it. The only way to actually fix that is to make the problem block your deployment . quantum-audit exits with a non-zero code when it finds critical quantum-vulnerable cryptography. That means you can drop it into any CI pipeline and have it fail the build automatically. Here's how. The exit code behaviour npx quantum-audit . echo $? # 0 = no critical findings, 1 = critical findings found Exit 0 — no critical findings (safe to deploy) Exit 1 — critical findings detected (block the build) Medium findings (SHA-256, AES-128) don't fail the build — they appear in the output as warnings but don't block deployment. Only CRITICAL findings (RSA, ECDSA, secp256k1) cause a non-zero exit. GitHub Actions Add this to your .github/workflows/ci.yml : name : CI on : push : branches : [ main ] pull_request : branches : [ main ] jobs : quantum-audit : runs-on : ubuntu-latest steps : - name : Checkout uses : actions/checkout@v4 - name : Setup Node.js uses : actions/setup-node@v4 with : node-version : ' 20' - name : Run quantum-audit run : npx quantum-audit . If your project uses ethers , web3 , elliptic , or any other ECDSA/RSA library — the step will fail and your PR cannot be merged until the finding is addressed. JSON output for custom reporting Need to parse the results programmatically? Use the --json flag: npx quantum-audit . --json Output: { "project" : "my-dapp" , "score" : 60 , "grade" : "C — Moderate Exposure" , "findings" : [ { "algorithm" : "ECDSA (secp256k1) signing" , "risk" : "critical" , "weight" : 40 , "file" : "package.json" , "line" : null , "source" : "ethers" }, { "algorithm" : "SHA-256 (crypto.createHash)" , "risk" : "medium" , "weight" : 8 , "file" : "src/utils/hash.js" , "line" : 14 } ] } You can pipe this into a Slack notification, a dashboard, or a custom reporting step.
