Cursor launch security

Security checklist for Cursor-built apps before launch

Cursor usually works inside a local Git repo already. Run the local check from the repo root before asking the agent to fix anything. The local check covers GitHub Actions and update-automation hygiene. App logic like auth, secrets, payments, webhooks, and runtime behavior still needs manual review before serious traffic.

Local check

Check a repo from your terminal

No network by default
npx taskbounty-check@latest .

Runs locally and checks GitHub Actions + CI hygiene. It writes a local report and does not upload source code or workflow contents.

Want it inside your workflow? Copy the Cursor, Claude, Codex, and GitHub Actions snippets.

It is not a full app security audit: secrets, auth, payments, webhooks, and runtime behavior still need a manual review. For help turning findings into fixes, request a confidential review.

Common launch risks in Cursor apps

Agent-authored workflow changes that grant broad repository token permissions.
Fixes that protect UI routes but forget server-side authorization.
Generated webhook or payment code that handles events without signature verification.

Recommended workflow

  1. Ask Cursor to run `npx taskbounty-check@latest .` locally.
  2. Have it summarize what the CLI can verify versus what needs human review.
  3. Approve a fix plan before letting it edit files.

Cursor launch review prompt

I built this app with Cursor. Before launch, review it using this workflow:

1. Ask Cursor to run `npx taskbounty-check@latest .` locally.
2. Have it summarize what the CLI can verify versus what needs human review.
3. Approve a fix plan before letting it edit files.

Separate local CI/workflow hygiene findings from risks that need human review. Do not upload source code or workflow contents. Ask before changing files.

Next step

Start with the local CLI. If the app handles users, money, private data, webhooks, or AI actions, use the broader checklist and request a confidential review for the parts automation cannot safely verify.
