Security Scanner for Xano-Backed Apps
Xano gives you a production PostgreSQL database with visual API builders. But its security model is per-endpoint: any API group or endpoint left unauthenticated is publicly callable, and responses often return whole records. SimplyScan tests your deployed frontend and the Xano endpoints it exposes.
Top Vulnerabilities in Xano Apps
- Unauthenticated API Endpoints · Endpoints created without an authentication requirement are callable by anyone · the frontend's login screen does nothing to protect them.
- Over-Fetching Record Responses · Default "get all records" endpoints return every field of every row, including emails and internal data your UI never displays.
- Missing Ownership Checks · Endpoints that accept a user_id or record ID as input, without verifying it belongs to the authenticated user, allow horizontal privilege escalation (IDOR).
- Auth Tokens Exposed in Frontend Config · Long-lived Xano API tokens pasted into frontend builders ship to every visitor's browser.
- No Rate Limiting on Public Endpoints · Public endpoints without rate limits invite brute-force login attempts and mass data scraping.
