Stop flying blind: PreFlight audits your AI-generated code for safety

AI tools are fast, but they often leave behind security risks and bugs. PreFlight is a tool that scans your AI-generated code for these mistakes before you deploy it.

When you use tools like Cursor or Claude, it's easy to generate more code than you can review. This can lead to hidden risks like hardcoded secrets or broken database rules (RLS). PreFlight acts as a safety net, catching these errors before they reach your users. It allows you to move fast with AI while keeping your application secure and professional.

Key points

  • Automatically scans AI code for leaked secrets and hardcoded passwords.
  • Audits database Row Level Security (RLS) to protect user data.
  • Acts as a safety net for developers who use AI to build quickly.
  • Catches subtle logic errors that are easy to miss during manual review.
