Bolt security scanner for indie SaaS launches
Bolt is built to take you from idea to deployed app as fast as possible. The distance between "it deploys" and "it's ready for real users" is where indie hackers get burned on launch day.
Bolt projects are usually Vite-based, so anything exposed to the client ships in the bundle, and generated endpoints rarely include rate limits or webhook verification. GoForLaunch reviews your Bolt repo for those exact gaps and tells you which ones block launch.
What you get
Exposed key detection
Separates safe publishable keys from secret and service-role keys that leaked into client code or public environment variables.
Rate-limit and cost checks
Flags public, auth, upload and AI-backed routes with no rate limiting or usage ceiling — the source of launch-day abuse and surprise bills.
Payment and webhook review
Detects webhooks that parse before verifying the signature, trust client-sent amounts, or aren't idempotent.
Launch-readiness basics
Checks for robots.txt, sitemap, canonical metadata, error states, broken links and the operational layer Bolt rarely adds.
What the Bolt scan checks for
What does the Bolt security scanner check?
It reviews a Bolt-built repo for exposed keys, missing rate limits, unprotected API routes, payment and webhook mistakes, and launch-readiness basics, then returns a prioritized report with fixes.
Why do Bolt apps run up surprise API bills?
Generated apps often expose AI or generation endpoints with no rate limit or usage ceiling. A loop or a burst of launch traffic can call them thousands of times. The scanner flags those routes so you can add limits before launch.
Is the scan read-only?
Yes. GoForLaunch only performs read operations during scans. Suggested-fix pull requests are a separate, explicit permission.
