Your Bolt app works. But how do you know user A can’t access user B’s stuff?
Bolt can get an app working insanely fast.
Security is harder because the happy path working tells you almost nothing.
We built a free scanner that checks exposed keys, open databases, source maps, config files, CORS and other public stuff.
But I started worrying that a clean result was giving people false confidence. The scan had never logged in or tried to cross account boundaries.
So I made a self serve Deep Review.
You prove control of the app or GitHub repo, sign the exact scope, then it can run deeper web checks, source analysis and optional testing with two throwaway users.
No manual approval from our side.
Now I’m wondering if I just made automated security testing too accessible.
Could someone verify temporary control, run it, then disappear? Could a malicious app attack the scanner? Could it be used to generate load?
What am I missing?
