Cursor Security

Cursor Security Scanner

Building with Cursor AI? Make sure the code it helps you write is secure. We find vulnerabilities in AI-assisted applications.

Our automated security scanner analyzes your Cursor application for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed secrets. Get a comprehensive security report in minutes, not days.

Cursor-Assisted Code Considerations

Cursor makes development fast, but AI-generated code often skips security best practices:

  • !AI suggestions may include insecure code patterns
  • !Secrets might be suggested in plaintext
  • !Generated code may skip input validation
  • !Security best practices may be overlooked for speed

What We Check

Secret Detection

Scans your codebase for any API keys, tokens, or credentials that should be in environment variables.

Code Security

Analyzes code patterns for common vulnerabilities like injection, XSS, and insecure dependencies.

Database Security

Tests your database configuration for proper access controls and security policies.

Security Headers

Verifies your deployed application has proper HTTP security headers configured.

What You'll Get

Complete security audit report
Exposed secrets detection
Code vulnerability analysis
Database security check
Security headers review
Remediation guidance
AI-ready markdown export
Re-scan after fixes

Why Cursor Apps Need Security Scanning

Cursor is a powerful AI-powered code editor that dramatically speeds up development by providing intelligent code suggestions and completions. However, AI assistants optimize for functionality and developer productivity, which can sometimes mean security best practices take a back seat.

When Cursor helps you write code quickly, it's easy to accept suggestions that work but may have security implications. API keys might end up in source files, input validation might be skipped, and security configurations might be deferred for 'later' and forgotten.

VAS scans your deployed application to catch the security issues that can slip through during rapid AI-assisted development. We check for exposed secrets, analyze your security configuration, and verify that your database and authentication are properly secured.

How Cursor Security Scanning Works

1

Submit Your URL

Enter your Cursor application URL. Our scanner automatically detects your tech stack and configures the appropriate security checks for Cursor.

2

Automated Analysis

We scan for exposed secrets, security headers, authentication issues, database misconfigurations, and Cursor-specific vulnerabilities. The scan typically completes in 15-20 minutes.

3

Get Actionable Results

Receive a detailed report with prioritized vulnerabilities, severity ratings, and step-by-step remediation guidance with code examples specific to Cursor.

Common Questions About Cursor Security

What vulnerabilities are most common in Cursor apps?

The most frequent issues we find include exposed API keys in frontend code, missing or misconfigured authentication, insecure database access patterns, and missing security headers. These often result from AI-generated code that prioritizes functionality over security.

How long does a security scan take?

Most Cursor application scans complete within 15-20 minutes. Larger applications with many pages may take slightly longer. You'll receive an email notification when your scan is ready.

Will the scan affect my production app?

Our scanner uses non-invasive techniques and won't modify your application or data. We analyze your publicly accessible endpoints, check security configurations, and look for exposed secrets without performing destructive tests.

Secure Your Cursor App

Don't let vulnerabilities compromise your hard work. Security issues in Cursor applications can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and damaged user trust.

Scan before you launch and deploy with confidence knowing your application meets security best practices.
