Cursor app security scan

A Cursor app security scan should distinguish the development environment from the deployed app. Cursor can help review repository code and secure developer workflows, but the launched web app still needs an outside-in scan for headers, source maps, exposed files, CORS, cookies, leaked client-side secrets, and public endpoints.

What this scan should cover

Before deploy

Use Cursor and your repository to reduce code-level risk.

Review auth and authorization paths
Search for hardcoded secrets and unsafe raw SQL
Check webhook and external callback handlers
Run dependency and code review passes before merge

After deploy

Check what the generated app exposes to the browser.

Headers and CSP posture
Public source maps and debug files
Secret-shaped values in JS bundles or network responses
Anonymous API responses and permissive CORS

Fix loop

Use the scan report as a focused prompt for Cursor.

Copy the finding evidence into Cursor
Ask for the smallest code/config change that addresses that exact URL
Rebuild and redeploy
Rerun the public scan to verify closure

> where vibecodeguard fits

Public-surface evidence before launch.

VibeCodeGuard is the runtime check for Cursor-built apps: it scans the deployed public URL and returns findings you can take back into Cursor as concrete fix work.

Scan public URL

What a public scan cannot prove

It does not replace repository review inside Cursor.
It cannot inspect files that never ship to the browser or public API.
It cannot prove tenant, billing, or role logic without account-aware tests.

Direct answers

Does Cursor security mean my deployed app is secure?

No. Cursor security controls protect the development environment and help with code review, but the deployed app still needs runtime checks against its public URL.

What should I paste back into Cursor from a scan?

Paste the affected URL, evidence, severity, and fix guidance. Ask Cursor to change only the relevant route, header config, API handler, or deployment setting.

What does a public scan catch that code review can miss?

Deployment-specific headers, public source maps, live CORS behavior, cookie flags, exposed files, and anonymous endpoint responses are easiest to verify from the running URL.
