PRODUCT — APP SECURITY SCANNER
App Security Scanner — Check if Your App is Secure
Quickly scan your app to find vulnerabilities, exposed API keys, and security risks before they become a real problem. No technical knowledge required. Just paste a URL.
What the App Security Scanner Checks
Our scanner automatically inspects every layer of your live app — from the API layer down to the headers — looking for real vulnerabilities that attackers exploit every day.
API Key Exposure Detection
Finds API keys, tokens, and secrets that are accidentally included in your client-side JavaScript, HTML responses, or public endpoints.
Authentication Issues
Detects broken login flows, missing rate limits, exposed user sessions, and JWT misconfiguration that let attackers bypass security entirely.
Exposed Endpoint Scanning
Maps all public-facing API routes and checks whether sensitive data (emails, IDs, tokens) is returned without authentication.
Security Header Audit
Checks for missing headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS that protect users from XSS and clickjacking.
CORS Misconfiguration
Identifies dangerous CORS policies that allow any origin to make authenticated requests to your API — a silent but critical vulnerability.
Plain-English Report
Every finding is explained in simple language with a clear severity rating and a copy-paste code fix — no security degree required.
How the App Security Scanner Works
Three steps. No setup. No CLI. No waiting for a sales call.
-
Paste Your App URL
Enter the URL of your live app or staging environment. No code access required. Works on any tech stack — Next.js, Django, Rails, Laravel, or anything else.
-
We Run the Scan
PrivacyReport automatically crawls your app's public surface, probes endpoints, analyses JavaScript bundles, checks headers, and maps all exposed data flows — in seconds.
-
Get Your Security Report
Receive a prioritised, colour-coded report of every vulnerability found. Each issue includes a plain-English explanation, a risk rating, and the exact code or configuration needed to fix it.
Why Run an App Security Scan?
Most apps have at least one serious security issue hiding in plain sight. The question is whether you find it first — or an attacker does.
Prevent Hacks Before They Happen
Finding and fixing an exposed API key takes five minutes. Recovering from a breach takes months. Scanning before you launch is the single best investment you can make in your app's security.
Protect Your Users' Private Data
Your users trust you with their emails, names, and payments. An app security scanner ensures you're not accidentally leaking that data through unprotected endpoints or misconfigured APIs.
Ship With Confidence
Run a scan before every major release. Know exactly what your security posture is before you share a product with the world. Sleep well knowing your code is clean.
No Security Experience Needed
You don't need a security engineer on your team to understand the results. Every finding is explained in plain English that any developer or founder can act on immediately.
Who Uses the App Security Scanner?
From solo developers to product teams, PrivacyReport's app security scanner fits into any workflow that needs fast, reliable vulnerability detection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if my app is secure?
The fastest way is to use an automated app security scanner. With PrivacyReport, you paste your app's URL and we scan it within seconds — checking for exposed API keys, broken auth, open endpoints, and more. No setup or technical knowledge required.
Can I scan a live website or app?
Yes. PrivacyReport scans your live deployed app directly. You don't need to share any code or connect a repository. Just paste the URL and run the scan.
Is PrivacyReport's app security scanner free?
Yes — you can run your first scan completely free. No credit card required. Paid plans are available for teams that need continuous monitoring, multiple apps, or detailed compliance reports.
What is an API key exposure checker?
An API key exposure checker scans your app's public-facing code and responses to detect whether any API keys, tokens, or credentials have been accidentally exposed. This is one of the most common and dangerous security mistakes developers make — and one of the easiest to fix once you know about it.
