Windsurf Security

Windsurf Security Scanner

Building with Windsurf IDE? Make sure your application is secure. We scan for vulnerabilities in AI-assisted code.

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

94+ Chromium CVEs Discovered in Windsurf

Security researchers have identified over 94 Chromium-based vulnerabilities in Windsurf IDE. While these affect the IDE itself, it's crucial to ensure the code you build with Windsurf doesn't inherit security issues.

Windsurf Security Considerations

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

  • !AI-generated code may contain insecure patterns
  • !Secrets might be hardcoded during rapid development
  • !Security configurations often deferred
  • !Generated code may skip input validation

Why Windsurf Apps Need Security Scanning

Windsurf by Codeium is an AI-powered IDE that helps developers write code faster with intelligent completions and suggestions. Like other AI coding tools, the focus on speed and productivity can sometimes lead to security configurations being overlooked.

Recent security research has highlighted vulnerabilities in Windsurf's underlying Chromium framework. While you should keep your IDE updated, it's equally important to ensure the applications you build don't contain security vulnerabilities of their own.

VAS scans your deployed application to identify security issues regardless of which IDE you used to build it. We check for exposed secrets, database misconfigurations, missing security headers, and insecure code patterns.

Common Questions About Windsurf Security

What vulnerabilities are most common in Windsurf 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 Windsurf 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 Windsurf App

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