Is X safe?

Honest security assessments of the platforms you use. Written by the Securie team, updated monthly, not paid for.

vibe-coder

Is Lovable safe?

Lovable apps ship with reasonable auth scaffolding but routinely misconfigure Supabase RLS, expose secrets via the Vite bundle, and lack rate limits on API endpoints. Assume your default Lovable app is not safe to ship to real users until you run a scan.

vibe-coder

Is Bolt.new safe?

Bolt apps ship with standard frontend frameworks and the same failure modes as any Vite/Next.js app: leaked env vars, missing CSRF, lack of rate limits. Vibe Leak Index: ~13% have at least one credential leak.

vibe-coder

Is v0 (Vercel) safe?

v0 generates Next.js components that are generally well-structured for security — but the same Next.js pitfalls apply: middleware matcher gaps, missing auth on server actions, BOLA on dynamic routes. Vibe Leak Index: ~11% leak rate (lowest of the four major platforms).

vibe-coder

Is Replit safe?

Replit apps range from toy to production-critical. The Agent sometimes takes destructive actions (the SaaStr DB wipe incident) when given ambiguous instructions. Vibe Leak Index: ~15% leak rate.

ai-editor

Is Cursor safe?

Cursor itself is safe to use. The code it helps you write has the same AI-code security risks as any other AI-assisted workflow — ~45% of unreviewed AI suggestions contain a bug.

ai-editor

Is Windsurf safe?

Windsurf agents can execute code and run tests autonomously. This extends the blast radius of a prompt-injection or context-poisoning attack. Use with the same rigor you would apply to any AI agent with filesystem and shell access.

ai-editor

Is Claude Code safe?

Claude Code is one of the most capable coding agents. It can also do significant damage if given wide scope. Use with explicit scope limits, staging-only on destructive operations, and never with production credentials.

ai-editor

Is GitHub Copilot safe?

Copilot itself passes most enterprise security reviews. The suggestions it produces have the same ~45% bug rate as other AI coding tools. Ship with a pre-merge scanner.

backend

Is Supabase safe?

Supabase is safe when configured correctly. Most breaches in Supabase-backed apps come from RLS misconfiguration, not from Supabase itself. Their security model is sound; the default app template relies on you to enable RLS per table.

backend

Is Firebase safe?

Firebase is safe when security rules are strict. The most common failure mode is default-allow rules committed at the project root of Firestore or Realtime Database.

auth

Is Clerk safe?

Clerk is one of the safest auth platforms available. Common bugs are integration-side: matcher gaps in clerkMiddleware, missing auth() assertions in server actions, unverified webhooks.

auth

Is Auth0 safe?

Auth0 itself is safe. The risk surface is configuration: Actions with secrets committed in code, Management API tokens with broad scope, callback-URL allowlists too permissive.

backend

Is Vercel safe?

Vercel is safe. It ships with HTTPS, HSTS, platform-level protections. Your app's security is your own.

backend

Is Netlify safe?

Netlify is safe as a platform. Your Functions and build environment inherit your own security hygiene.

backend

Is Cloudflare Workers safe?

Cloudflare Workers are among the most isolated serverless runtimes. Failures are usually about binding scope and request-handling limits.

ai-editor

Is MCP (Model Context Protocol) safe?

MCP is safe with discipline (fingerprint-pinned servers + scope-locked tools + Llama-Guard output filter). It is unsafe with default configs — see the April 2026 Anthropic RCE for the canonical disaster. The protocol's implicit trust model means every MCP server you install has full agent-context access; operator-pinned catalogs are not optional.

backend

Is EU AI Act self-assessment safe?

The EU AI Act becomes fully applicable Aug 2 2026 for high-risk Annex III systems. Self-classify against the 8 Annex III categories first; if you're out, you have transparency obligations only (Article 50). If you're in, you need full Article 11 + Annex IV documentation + risk management + post-market monitoring + conformity assessment + CE marking before placing the system on the EU market.

ai-editor

Is Cursor safe?

Cursor (Anysphere) reached 25.49M monthly visits per Semrush March 2026. Safe to use IF you keep `.cursor/` out of git + npm publish artifacts; UNSAFE in default config because the dot-directory captures inline keys + the April 2026 Bitwarden CLI hijack actively hunted these paths.

ai-editor

Is Claude Code safe?

Claude Code's design captures conversation history + tool config + sometimes inline credentials into `.claude/`. When developers publish from a workspace where credentials were captured, the credentials ship along. April 2026 wave shows the attacker-side targeting is real.

ai-editor

Is Cline safe?

Cline is an autonomous-agent VS Code extension. It executes operations without per-step user approval. The blast radius is correspondingly larger than autocomplete-only tools. Safe IF you (1) configure auto-approve to exclude destructive operations, (2) use dev-only credentials, (3) review Cline's commits via Securie before merge.

ai-editor

Is Windsurf safe?

Windsurf carries the same security risk profile as Cursor. Editor-agnostic specialists catch the same patterns regardless of which AI IDE wrote the code.

ai-editor

Is Zed safe?

Zed's AI features are lighter-weight than Cursor's agent mode but produce the same AI-generated-code bug rate. Editor-agnostic specialists catch same patterns.

ai-editor

Is Continue safe?

Continue carries the same autonomous-edit blast radius as Cline. April 2026 Bitwarden CLI hijack hunted `.continue/` paths specifically.

ai-editor

Is GitHub Copilot safe?

Copilot's longer production track record doesn't change the bug rate — AI-generated code consistently carries the 92% auth-bug rate across all four frontier models tested in Apr 2026 research.

ai-editor

Is Tabnine safe?

Tabnine's enterprise focus on compliance is real, but the AI-generated-code output carries the same 92% bug rate. Securie's DSSE-signed attestation chain matches Tabnine's enterprise auditability requirements.
