Security Review for your Cursor-built Express app
Expert security review for Express apps built with Cursor. We audit Cursor-generated Express code for security review issues. From $19.
Cursor issues we find in Express projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building Express apps.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Express security review issues we check for
Security Review-specific Express problems that need attention before production.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
