Security Review for your Codex CLI app
Most AI-built apps ship with security gaps that automated scanners miss. We manually review your code, infrastructure, and configuration to find vulnerabilities that could expose user data, allow unauthorized access, or compromise your system. Every finding comes with a clear explanation and fix. We specialize in Codex CLI projects and know exactly what to look for.
Security Review issues we find in Codex CLI apps
These are real security review problems we see in Codex CLI projects during our audits.
API keys and secrets written directly into generated source files
Codex CLI generates code with placeholder credentials that developers often replace with real values inline, leaving secrets committed to version control. There is no .env scaffolding or secret management setup by default.
No authentication or authorization on generated API endpoints
When Codex generates Express or FastAPI backends, routes are created without middleware for authentication, meaning every endpoint is publicly accessible immediately after deployment.
What our security review covers
Everything included when we security review your Codex CLI project.
Authentication & authorization
Login flows, session management, role-based access, token handling, and OAuth integrations.
API security
Input validation, rate limiting, CORS configuration, and protection against injection attacks.
Data exposure
Secrets in source code, environment variable handling, database access controls, and sensitive data in client bundles.
Infrastructure configuration
HTTPS enforcement, security headers, cookie flags, CSP policies, and server hardening.
Dependency vulnerabilities
Known CVEs in your npm/pip packages, outdated libraries, and supply chain risks.
Database security
Row-level security policies, query injection prevention, backup configuration, and access controls.
