ShipSafe is an AI-powered security scanner that finds vulnerabilities in code built with tools like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, and v0. Paste a GitHub URL and get a plain-English security report in minutes.

How does ShipSafe work?

ShipSafe analyzes your GitHub repository using 30+ security checks including SQL injection, XSS, leaked API keys, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. It produces a plain-English report with fix recommendations.

Yes, ShipSafe offers a free plan that includes security scans with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $9/month for CLI access with unlimited scans.

What vulnerabilities does ShipSafe detect?

ShipSafe detects SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), leaked secrets and API keys, insecure authentication, CSRF vulnerabilities, and more across the OWASP Top 10 categories.

Does ShipSafe work with vibe-coded apps?

Yes, ShipSafe is specifically designed for apps built with AI coding tools like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, and Replit. These tools can introduce security vulnerabilities that ShipSafe catches before deployment.

Security Scanner for Cursor Apps

Cursor makes you ship faster, but speed without security is a liability. ShipSafe finds the vulnerabilities that Cursor's AI silently introduces into your codebase.

The Problem with Cursor-Generated Code

Cursor is one of the best AI code editors available. It understands your codebase, generates multi-file changes, and dramatically accelerates development. But its AI model was trained to produce code that works, not code that's secure.

When you accept a Cursor suggestion, you inherit whatever security shortcuts the model took. Auth checks get skipped because the AI focused on the happy path. Sequential IDs get used because they're simpler than UUIDs. Secrets get inlined because the model saw them in your prompt context.

These aren't edge cases. They're the default behavior. And if you're shipping fast with Cursor, you need an automated way to catch them before your users do. Read more in our deep dive on Cursor code security.

Common Vulnerabilities in Cursor Projects

These are the security issues we find most frequently in codebases built with Cursor. For a full breakdown, see our vulnerabilities by platform reference.

Critical

IDOR with Sequential IDs

Cursor frequently generates database schemas and API routes that use auto-incrementing integer IDs. An attacker can enumerate records by simply changing the ID in the URL from /api/invoices/42 to /api/invoices/43. Without ownership checks, every user's data is exposed.

Critical

Inverted Auth Conditions

A surprisingly common pattern in AI-generated code: the auth check logic is accidentally inverted. Instead of blocking unauthenticated users, the middleware blocks authenticated ones and lets anonymous requests through. One misplaced negation operator can open your entire app.

High

Frontend-Only Admin Checks

Cursor often generates admin panels where the role check only happens in the React component. The API routes behind the admin panel have no authorization at all, meaning anyone who discovers the endpoint can perform admin actions directly.

High

Hardcoded Secrets in Source

When you paste API keys or database URLs into Cursor's chat context, the AI sometimes embeds them directly into the generated code instead of referencing environment variables. These secrets end up committed to your repository and exposed in your client bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cursor-generated code secure?

Not automatically. Cursor produces functional code quickly, but its AI model optimizes for correctness, not security. Research shows that AI-generated code contains vulnerabilities roughly 40% of the time. Common issues include missing authorization checks, sequential ID exposure, and hardcoded credentials. You should always run a security scan before deploying Cursor-generated code to production.

What vulnerabilities does Cursor create?

The most frequent issues are IDOR (Insecure Direct Object References) from using sequential IDs without ownership checks, inverted authentication conditions where the auth logic is accidentally flipped, frontend-only admin checks that skip server-side authorization, and hardcoded secrets that get committed to version control. ShipSafe's scanner is tuned to catch all of these patterns.

How do I scan my Cursor project?

Sign up at ship-safe.co, connect your GitHub repository or paste your code, and start a scan. ShipSafe will analyze your entire codebase in minutes and generate a report with prioritized findings and fix suggestions. You can also use our CLI to scan locally before pushing.

Does ShipSafe work with Cursor Composer?

Yes. ShipSafe scans the output of your project regardless of whether you used Cursor's tab completion, inline editing, or Composer's multi-file generation. The scanner analyzes your actual codebase, so it works with any Cursor workflow or feature.
