Replit security scanner — deploy with confidence.

What a Replit security scan checks

• Exposed Replit Database URLs and authentication tokens
• Hardcoded secrets and API keys in client-side code
• Open database access — Replit DB and external databases without restrictions
• Missing HTTP security headers — CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options
• Authentication gaps — API routes without access controls
• CORS misconfigurations — permissive origins enabling cross-origin attacks
• Environment variable leakage in client bundles

Replit-specific security risks

Replit's rapid development model introduces unique security patterns that traditional scanners don't look for:

• Replit Secrets tab values referenced in client code via process.env — exposed in browser bundles
• Replit Database (key-value store) URLs left in code after development
• Forked repls inheriting secrets from the original project
• Apps running on Replit's default domain with no custom domain or SSL concerns
• Deployed apps retaining development-mode debugging endpoints

Why Replit apps need the full security picture

Vezraa is a platform that combines security scanning, autonomous AI pentesting, and production readiness reviews to determine whether software is actually ready for production. For Replit-deployed apps specifically:

• The scanner finds exposed Replit DB tokens — the pentester attempts to extract data
• The scanner flags open CORS — the readiness review checks if your rate limiting works
• The scanner detects missing auth routes — the pentester probes them for privilege escalation

Replit security best practices

• Never prefix secrets with NEXT_PUBLIC_ or expose them to the client
• Use Replit's Secrets tab for all credentials — never hardcode in source files
• Add authentication to every API route — Replit defaults to open access
• Configure HTTP security headers in your app framework
• Restrict Replit Database access to server-side code only
• Run Vezraa before sharing or deploying your Replit app publicly
