Cursor AI Security

Cursor AI Security Scanner

Built your app with Cursor? Make sure it's secure. We find the security issues that AI code generation overlooks.

AI Writes Fast, Not Always Secure

Cursor is an incredible AI-powered code editor that can build complex features in minutes. But AI assistants prioritize working code over secure code. Security best practices require explicit attention.

Common Security Issues in Cursor-Built Apps

1

Hardcoded Secrets

API keys for OpenAI, Stripe, and other services often end up directly in source code instead of environment variables.

2

Missing Database Security

Supabase RLS policies or Firebase Security Rules frequently get skipped, leaving data exposed to anyone with the client key.

3

Weak Authentication

AI-generated auth flows may lack password requirements, rate limiting, or proper session management.

4

No Security Headers

Important HTTP headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are often missing from deployment configs.

5

Client-Side Sensitive Logic

Business logic and validation that should run server-side sometimes ends up in frontend code.

What We Check

Secret Detection

Scans your JavaScript bundles for API keys, tokens, and credentials that should be server-side only. We detect OpenAI, Stripe, AWS, and dozens of other patterns.

Database Security

Tests your Supabase RLS policies and Firebase Security Rules by attempting actual queries. We find exposed tables before attackers do.

Security Headers

Checks for CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options and other headers that protect against XSS, clickjacking, and MITM attacks.

Auth Analysis

Tests password policies, checks for rate limiting, and analyzes authentication implementation for common weaknesses.

What You'll Get

Full security vulnerability report
Exposed secrets with exact locations
Database exposure details
Security headers audit
Code snippets to fix each issue
Environment variable guides
AI-ready markdown export

Why Cursor-Built Apps Need Security Scanning

Cursor has revolutionized how developers write code. With AI assistance, you can build complete features in a fraction of the time. But this speed comes with a tradeoff: the AI focuses on making code that works, not code that's secure.

When you ask Cursor to add Stripe integration, it might hardcode your test key. When you build a Supabase-powered app, RLS policies often get skipped because they're not strictly required for the code to function. These oversights are easy to miss in the excitement of rapid development.

VAS was built specifically to catch the security issues that appear in AI-assisted development. We scan your deployed application, test your actual database security, and provide copy-paste fixes that work with Cursor's AI to implement remediation quickly.
