Security Scanner for Cursor Apps
Cursor supercharges development with AI-powered code completion and generation. But AI suggestions can silently introduce security anti-patterns: hardcoded credentials, unsafe eval() calls, and vulnerable dependency choices. SimplyScan audits the output so you can ship with confidence.
Top Vulnerabilities in Cursor Apps
- Hardcoded Secrets in Source Code · AI completions may inline API keys, database credentials, or tokens directly in source files instead of referencing environment variables.
- Code Injection Patterns · Cursor-generated code may use eval(), new Function(), or dynamic script injection · creating direct code execution vulnerabilities.
- Insecure Dependency Choices · AI may suggest outdated or vulnerable npm packages. A single compromised dependency can expose your entire application.
- Missing Input Validation · AI-generated form handlers and API routes often skip input sanitization, creating SQL injection and XSS attack surfaces.
- Client-Side Secret Exposure · Backend secrets referenced in shared utility files can end up bundled into frontend builds via tree-shaking failures.
