Security guides for no-code and AI-built apps

Choose a security guide based on how your app was built and where its data lives. A no-code platform can manage hosting and authentication. A coding agent can create the application itself. Neither choice removes the need to decide who may access each record, file and action.

This directory covers 16 builders and coding tools. It is not an exhaustive list of every product on the market, a ranking of platform safety, or a set of disclosed vulnerabilities. Each guide combines linked platform documentation with practical review recommendations. Examples are synthetic unless explicitly identified otherwise.

Turn the checklist into a developer-led release review

These guides help you prepare, but a checklist cannot establish whether your particular product enforces its intended rules. Before launching with private customer data, payments or privileged staff workflows, have an experienced developer review the relevant configuration and implementation, then test both permitted and rejected actions. Automated checks support that work; they are not the whole release decision.

Thunkle's paid developer-led security audit turns those questions into an agreed test scope, evidence-backed findings and prioritized remediation guidance. You receive a free re-review of agreed fixes; implementation can be scoped separately. Share your platform, roles and critical workflows to request an audit quote—not passwords, production credentials or customer exports.

No-code and AI application builders

Use these guides to review the controls configured inside the platform, the backend it connects to and the application logic around them.

• Lovable security guide: identify your backend, test customer isolation and review functions, files and credentials.
• Base44 security guide: entity operations, sensitive fields, roles and privileged backend functions.
• Bubble security guide: privacy rules, enabled Data API types, backend workflows and private files.
• Replit security guide: server routes, deployment configuration, Secrets and development-versus-production boundaries.
• Bolt security guide: database connections, publish-time checks and authorization after a generated change.
• v0 security guide: Next.js Server Actions, server-to-browser data and preview environment credentials.
• FlutterFlow security guide: private API calls, backend rules and the mobile or web release you actually distribute.
• Glide security guide: Row Owners, shared access, user profiles and connected data sources.
• Softr security guide: user groups, global data restrictions and permissions across a connected client portal.

Website builders with custom code and integrations

A public brochure site does not need an invented multi-tenant database audit. Its forms, third-party scripts, API calls and attached services may still handle private data or privileged credentials.

• Webflow security guide: custom scripts, API tokens, form destinations and external member systems.
• Framer security guide: code components, published-page scripts and signed form webhooks.

AI coding agents and editors

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot are coding tools, not interchangeable no-code hosting platforms. Their permissions govern development actions; your deployed application needs its own access controls.

• Claude Code security guide: project instructions, tool permissions and a security review of multi-file changes.
• Codex security guide: sandbox boundaries, approvals, connected tools and production acceptance tests.
• Cursor security guide: editor changes, command approval, MCP access and testing the built output.
• Windsurf security guide: Cascade command execution, terminal credentials and side effects outside the code diff.
• GitHub Copilot security guide: local versus cloud agents, setup/MCP access and the pull-request-to-release boundary.

When your app uses several tools

Follow the data and the deployment, not just the most recent editor. An app started in Lovable, edited in Cursor and hosted elsewhere may need both the Lovable backend checks and the Cursor development-workflow checks. Changing editors does not change database permissions.

Start with a short inventory: the application URL, source or builder workspace, authentication provider, database, file store, payment service and deployment owner. Then choose the matching guides. If Supabase is part of that stack, our key-type explainer and two-account read checker cover specific supporting checks. The checker is not a universal scanner for the platforms above.

Turn the checklist into evidence

For each important workflow, record an allowed action and a forbidden action. Use dedicated accounts and synthetic data in an environment you own or are authorized to test. Keep successful controls so a broken session does not look like a successful security test. Verify stored state after a denied write, not only its response code.

The guides help you identify what you can establish yourself and what remains uncertain. A professional audit adds agreed scope, source or configuration review, authorized testing and prioritized findings with evidence and remediation guidance. No audit can guarantee the absence of every vulnerability.
