React app built with Codex CLI? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for React apps built with Codex CLI. We find Codex CLI-specific bugs, fix React security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Codex CLI issues we find in React projects
Problems specific to Codex CLI's code generation patterns when building React apps.
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.
Single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure
Codex frequently outputs all logic into one or two files rather than organizing code into modules, services, and utilities — making the result hard to maintain and extend as the codebase grows.
Generated code lacks awareness of existing project context
Because Codex operates from a prompt without full codebase indexing, it generates code that duplicates existing utilities, ignores established conventions, and introduces conflicting patterns alongside your real code.
React issues we check for
Common React problems that affect production readiness.
XSS via dangerouslySetInnerHTML
AI tools use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render dynamic content without sanitization, allowing script injection.
Exposed environment variables
Sensitive keys placed in NEXT_PUBLIC_ or REACT_APP_ prefixed variables, making them visible in the browser bundle.
Unnecessary re-renders
Missing React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback cause components to re-render on every parent update, degrading performance.
Unhandled promise rejections
Async operations in useEffect without proper error handling crash silently or show raw error messages.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review React code generated by Codex CLI?
Yes. We regularly audit React projects built with Codex CLI and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What React issues does Codex CLI typically create?
Common issues in Codex CLI-generated React code include: api keys and secrets written directly into generated source files, no authentication or authorization on generated api endpoints, single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure. Combined with React-specific concerns like xss via dangerouslysetinnerhtml and exposed environment variables.
How do I make my Codex CLI React project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Codex CLI-built React projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address React-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
