Guides

Practical, sourced and free to read. Written for people who build with AI and are not security specialists.
Every guide here follows the same rule: tell you how to check it yourself, for nothing, before mentioning our product. Each one states what it can't tell you as clearly as what it can, and links its sources so you can verify rather than trust. If we get something wrong, tell us and we'll correct it and say that we did.

The state of AI-built app security

Continuously updated statistics from every site we scan — how many have a readable database, exposed keys, or an open AI endpoint. Open methodology, stated limitations, free to cite.

Best security scanners for AI-built apps (2026)

Every independent scanner in this category compared honestly — VibeEval, Vibe App Scanner, SafeToShip, SafeVibe and others — written by one of them and saying so, including a section on where Broid loses.

Start here

Is my AI-built app safe to launch?

Five checks that catch almost everything serious, in about ten minutes. No security knowledge, no tools beyond your browser — plus what an audit actually costs at each tier.

Lovable

Is my Lovable app secure? How to check in 60 seconds

Lovable apps query the database straight from the browser, so Row Level Security is all that protects your data. What CVE-2025-48757 was, and the 60-second test.

Bolt

Is my Bolt app secure?

Bolt scans on publish and applies the fixes itself — more than most builders do. What that covers, what a publish-time scan structurally cannot see, and the four checks worth ten minutes.

v0 / Vercel

Is my v0 app secure?

v0 defaults to a Next.js server tier, so the browser cannot reach your database — a real structural advantage. Where that protection ends, and what is still yours to check.

Supabase

Is my Supabase RLS configured correctly?

RLS enabled is not RLS working. The five silent failure modes, the exact SQL to inspect your policies, and the write test almost nobody runs.

Comparison

Lovable vs Bolt vs v0 vs Replit vs Cursor: a security comparison

Every builder ships a scanner now, so that is no longer the difference — architecture is. What each one checks, and the study of 1,072 live apps where 98% had a flaw.

New · EU law

Which EU rules actually apply to an app you built with AI?

The AI Act was only half delayed — Article 50 is live now. GDPR applies at any size. The Cyber Resilience Act probably does not apply to you. An honest map, with sources.

Pricing

What does a security audit cost for a small web app?

Real published 2026 prices at every tier, from $0 to $200,000 — and which one you actually need. Most guides only answer for enterprises.

Honest comparison

Broid vs the platform's own security checker

What the built-in scanners can see, what they structurally cannot, and where Broid comes off worse. Run both — they fail differently.
