Built it with Cursor? Let's make sure it's safe to ship.
Cursor is great at making things move. It's less great at remembering you have a credit card on file. Here's what we look for in Cursor-built apps, and how we help you fix it before you launch.
What we look for first
- API keys hardcoded into the repo
- Admin pages with zero auth checks
- /api routes one curl loop away from a surprise bill
- SQL queries built by string concatenation
Illustrative examples. Yours might be cleaner. Or worse.
The Cursor mistakes we look for.
Four issues we check in every Cursor-built app, each with the change to make. If any of these sound familiar, you already know why this exists.
Keys Cursor pasted into your code
Cursor can inline an API key straight from a tutorial snippet, and it ships with your code.
Suggested change: Move each key to a server-only variable, then rotate it.
Server actions exposing your DB
App Router server actions are easy to wire up wrong. Cursor sometimes skips input validation and the auth check.
Suggested change: Validate the input and check the session in every action.
Routes with no rate limit
Cursor-generated /api/chat endpoints are catnip for billing attacks.
Suggested change: Require sign-in and cap requests per user.
NEXT_PUBLIC_ accidents
Variables prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_ are visible to every visitor. Cursor doesn't always know which ones should stay private.
Suggested change: Drop the prefix from anything secret and read it on the server.
