Use case
Your AI built the app, now scan it for security gaps.
Lovable, Bolt and Cursor write working code fast. Working is not the same as safe. p4ndora reads the whole repository behind your app and shows every weakness with the exact lines, so you can fix it before launch.

The short answer
How do I check an AI-built app for security problems?
Connect the repository behind your app to p4ndora and run a scan. You get every weakness rated and traced to the exact lines, and on Continuous every push your AI makes is checked, with unlimited scans for one monthly price.
- Any builder. If your code lives on GitHub or GitLab, p4ndora can read it. The tool that wrote it does not matter.
- The gaps AI leaves. Missing access checks, keys in the code, input that reaches a query. The flaws that work fine in a demo.
- Unlimited scans. AI tools push a lot of code. Continuous checks every push for one price, with no quota.
What one price includes
Unlimited scans. No usage limits. Any repository size.
Continuous, $499.50 a month per repository.
- Unlimited scans. Every push to your branch is checked against the last known state. No monthly quota.
- No usage limits. No test counts, no credits and no build minutes. The price stays the same however much you push.
- Any repository size. A side project and a large monorepo cost the same.
- Your whole team. No seats. Everyone who commits to the repository is covered.
- Automatic fixes. Fixes are drafted for you and opened as draft pull requests to review.
Or start with one scan for $149.50, paid once. New accounts get their first scan free.
Why do AI-built apps need a security scan?
AI builders are judged on one thing. Does the app run? Security checks nobody asked for are easy to skip. A route that never checks who is calling. An API key placed in code the browser downloads. A search box that passes its input straight into a database query.
Research points the same way. Veracode's 2025 GenAI Code Security Report found security flaws in 45% of its tests of AI-generated code. None of this shows up while you click through your own app. It shows up when somebody else looks. A scan finds it first and tells you exactly where it is.
What does p4ndora check in an AI-built app?
The weaknesses attackers use most, across the whole repository. Each finding names its kind, so you know what you are dealing with.
- Missing authorization (CWE-862)
- One user can read or change data that belongs to another.
- Authentication weakness (CWE-287)
- Ways around the sign-in that guards your app.
- Secret exposure (CWE-798)
- API keys, database keys and passwords written into the code.
- SQL injection (CWE-89)
- Input that ends up inside a database query.
- Cross-site scripting (CWE-79)
- Input written into a page that runs in the browsers of your users.
- Server-side request forgery (CWE-918)
- Requests your server sends wherever an attacker points it.
- Mass assignment (CWE-915)
- Fields a request can set that it never should, such as a role.
- Vulnerable dependency (Advisory)
- Packages with a known, published vulnerability.
And 34 more kinds of weakness, from unsafe file uploads to weak cryptography and race conditions.
Which AI builders does it work with?
All of them. p4ndora reads the repository, not the tool that wrote it. Lovable syncs to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Bolt, Replit and v0 connect to GitHub. Cursor and other AI editors work on a repository you push yourself. Connect that repository with a token that can only read, choose the branch and start the scan.
Many AI-built apps are JavaScript or TypeScript, often React or Next.js with a hosted database behind them. p4ndora reads those and twelve more languages, including Python, Go, Java, PHP and Ruby.
Is the security scan in my AI builder enough?
Use it. It is a good first check. Lovable runs a quick scan every time you publish and offers a deeper scan of your code, and says itself that these tools cannot guarantee complete security. Bolt audits a whole project on its paid plans and checks your database on every plan. Replit offers security scans to its paid users.
A dedicated audit is the second look. p4ndora reads the whole repository, traces every finding to its lines and, on Continuous, checks every push. It keeps working when your app leaves the builder and lives in a normal repository.
What happens after the scan?
- See what is at stake. Every finding is rated critical, high, medium or low, with a CVSS estimate and its CWE.
- See where it is. Each finding shows the exact lines and the route through your code, from where input enters to where it does harm.
- Fix it. Review the fix proposal. Paste it back into your builder, or let p4ndora open a draft pull request after you confirm.
- Keep it fixed. AI tools change a lot of code at once. With Continuous, every push to your branch is checked against the last known state.
What does it cost?
New accounts can start with a free scan of one repository. You see every finding counted and rated, and the most serious one opens in full. After that, one scan costs $149.50 per repository, paid once. Continuous costs $499.50 per month per repository and checks every push.
Questions
- Can p4ndora scan an app built with Lovable or Bolt?
- Yes, once the project is in a GitHub or GitLab repository. Connect that repository with a token that can read it and start a scan.
- Will the scan change my code?
- No. The scan reads one pinned commit with a token that can only read. Nothing is written to your repository unless you confirm a fix.
- Do I need to be a security expert?
- No. Each finding says in plain words what is at stake and shows the lines it is about. Fix proposals come ready for you to review.
- Is a scan enough if the AI keeps changing my code?
- A scan tells you where the code stands at one commit. If your app changes every day, Continuous checks every push against the last known state.
- Does p4ndora limit how often my app is scanned?
- No. Continuous includes unlimited scans of its repository, with every push checked, and the price is the same for a small project or a large monorepo. There are no quotas, credits or seats.
- Which languages does p4ndora read?
- JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, C#, PHP, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Dart, C and C++, plus the configuration files that ship with the code.
