New: SEO & AEO scanning — see how Google ranks you and how ChatGPT, Claude & Perplexity cite youSee how it works
The best security scanner for Windsurf apps tests the deployed site, not just the code. CheckVibe (from $0) leads for Windsurf: 100+ checks including the Windsurf-signature failure modes, plus SEO/AEO scanning no competitor offers. VibeEval, Vibe App Scanner, and Scanbee are strong security-only options.
TL;DR
Windsurf's Cascade agent writes whole features across many files autonomously — which means more code lands per session than you actually read, in exactly the places security bugs live: auth flows, database access, configs. The diffs are too big to review line-by-line; verifying the deployed result externally is the workable strategy.
Paste your deployed Windsurf-built URL and get 100+ security checks plus 68 SEO and 46 AEO checks in about 30 seconds — no repo access, no setup. For Windsurf specifically: scan the deployed app after each Cascade session and paste the generated fix prompts straight back into the agent — the loop matches how Cascade works (task in, multi-file change out). Findings ship as copy-paste AI fix prompts, and monitoring (uptime, vitals, threats) covers you after launch.
Best for: All-in-one security + visibility, from $0
Autonomous browser-agent security testing of the live app — including behind auth walls and CAPTCHAs (their claim). Security-only. Lists Windsurf as a supported platform.
Best for: Deep agent-based security testing
One-time security audits of the deployed app: exposed secrets, database access rules (Supabase/Firebase), headers, auth. No free scan tier listed as of June 2026. Lists Windsurf as a supported platform.
Best for: A cheap one-off pre-launch security audit
Eighteen tools in one cheap subscription — a 9-area security scan, basic SEO scan, Lighthouse speed, and utility generators. Lighter per category. Its security guides cover Windsurf.
Best for: Budget multi-tool quick checks
The open-source standard for dynamic web app security testing. Extremely capable, entirely manual: you run it, configure it, and interpret the results. No vibe-coding-specific checks (no Supabase RLS probing, no AI-pattern detection).
Best for: Hands-on testing without a SaaS
Start with the free scan.
100+ security checks, 68 SEO checks, 46 AEO checks — one URL, about 30 seconds.
Run a free CheckVibe scanIf the app has users, data, or payments — yes. AI-generated apps ship with a consistent set of gaps (exposed keys, missing access control, no headers), and every tool on this list catches issues a manual click-through never will. Start with a free scan; the result settles the question.
A free scan is enough to find out where you stand today. Paid tiers buy continuity (scheduled scans, monitoring, alerts) and depth (more pages crawled, more checks). For a side project, free-tier scans before each launch may genuinely suffice.
Not inherently — but it ships faster than it gets reviewed, and agent-written auth/database code carries the classic AI-codegen patterns (interpolated SQL, missing CSRF, permissive CORS) unless prompted otherwise. The risk is review bandwidth, not the tool.
Feed the findings back to Cascade as tasks. CheckVibe formats each finding as a paste-ready fix prompt; one Cascade task per finding ("add security headers middleware", "parameterize this query") closes them quickly.
