Bolt.new gets you from idea to running app quickly, backend and all. The catch is the same one every AI builder shares: the person prompting it is not a security reviewer, and the tool was not asked to be one. The result usually works and usually has a small set of predictable holes.
What tends to go wrong in Bolt apps
- Hardcoded secrets in generated scaffolding and config
- Missing authentication or authorization on generated API routes
- Supabase or database access without Row Level Security
- Fallback secrets in environment lookups that become predictable in production
These are not exotic bugs. They are the same handful that show up across AI-built apps, documented in our open database study and the wider guide to securing a vibe coded app.
Scan your own app for issues like these
Paste your live URL. We check what your app serves publicly for exposed keys and misconfigurations. No account, no install.
The fastest check
Paste your Bolt app repo or live URL into a free scan and get a prioritized list of findings with the exact file and line. If your app uses Supabase, also run the Supabase RLS checker to confirm no table is left open.
