Bolt.new app security scan

A Bolt.new app security scan should start in Bolt’s database Security settings for missing RLS policies and insecure permissions, then continue with a public scan of the deployed app. The outside scan checks headers, source maps, exposed files, CORS, cookies, and anonymous API responses that database settings alone cannot cover.

What this scan should cover

Bolt database checks

Review database-level findings before exposing the app publicly.

Open the database Security section
Review missing RLS policies and insecure permission warnings
Inspect policies on tables that store user or tenant data
Ask Bolt to fix only after confirming the policy matches the intended access model

Public URL checks

Scan the published site as an anonymous visitor.

Security headers and frame protections
Public source maps and deployment files
Open CORS or weak cookie settings
API endpoints returning structured data without a session

Manual confirmation

Close the gap between automated findings and real authorization.

Create two test users and compare record access
Try direct object URLs from a logged-out browser
Replay one protected API call without cookies
Confirm payment or admin actions are server-gated

> where vibecodeguard fits

Public-surface evidence before launch.

VibeCodeGuard gives Bolt.new builders an outside-in Launch Check for the published app, so database findings are paired with evidence from the real public URL.

What a public scan cannot prove

It cannot inspect private Bolt project state unless you provide the deployed surface.
It does not prove each RLS policy expresses the correct business rule.
It cannot validate account-to-account isolation without test accounts.

Direct answers

What should I check first in a Bolt.new app?

Start with Bolt’s database Security section, then scan the deployed URL for public headers, source maps, exposed files, CORS, cookies, and unauthenticated data.

Is missing RLS always a launch blocker?

For tables with user, tenant, payment, or private app data, missing or permissive RLS should be treated as a blocker until you confirm the right policies are enforced.

Why scan the public URL if Bolt has database warnings?

Database warnings do not cover browser headers, public build artifacts, source maps, CORS, or exposed deployment metadata. The public scan catches those launch-surface gaps.
