Django app built with Cursor? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Django apps built with Cursor. We find Cursor-specific bugs, fix Django security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Cursor issues we find in Django projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building Django 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.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
Django issues we check for
Common Django problems that affect production readiness.
DEBUG=True in production
The most common Django security issue in AI-generated code. Debug mode exposes full stack traces, database queries, and installed apps to anyone who triggers an error.
Open Django admin panel
The admin panel is accessible at /admin/ without IP restriction, brute-force protection, or two-factor authentication — giving attackers a direct path to your database.
Missing permission classes on views
API views and endpoints without @login_required decorators or permission_classes, allowing unauthenticated users to access and modify data.
N+1 query patterns in ORM usage
AI-generated Django code accesses related objects in loops without select_related or prefetch_related, causing hundreds of database queries per page load.
