Snyk for Lovable Builders? Where a Passive Production Scan Fits
Updated 2026-10-17
Snyk is a widely used developer-security platform oriented around your source repository and build pipeline — open-source dependencies, code analysis, containers and infrastructure-as-code (see Snyk's documentation for its current products). ShipGuard looks at something different: what your deployed Lovable app actually serves to the public internet.
| Question | ShipGuard | Snyk (repo/pipeline-oriented) |
|---|---|---|
| Input | A public URL | Your code repository / project (see Snyk docs) |
| Finds leaked keys in the shipped bundle | Yes (heuristic pattern match on served JS) | Depends on product/configuration; check Snyk docs |
| Supabase anon-key exposure checks | Schema & bucket enumeration, RLS SQL generator | Check Snyk docs |
| Dependency vulnerabilities | No | Core focus of Snyk Open Source |
| Headers / exposed files on production | Yes | Check Snyk docs |
| Lovable-specific fix prompts | Yes | Check Snyk docs |
Use them for different layers
Dependency and code scanning catch vulnerable packages and risky code before deploy. A passive production scan catches what actually leaked into the live site — the configuration mistakes that most often bite AI-built apps: secret keys in bundles, open Supabase surfaces, public dotfiles and missing headers.
What ShipGuard does
- Scans the deployed public URL passively (read-only GET requests, ~25s budget, 8s per-request timeout).
- Checks: secrets in client bundles (Stripe sk_live_/rk_live_, OpenAI sk-proj-, Anthropic sk-ant-, Supabase service_role / sb_secret_, Resend re_), Supabase schema & bucket enumeration with the public anon key, public .env/.git/source maps (content-validated), HSTS/CSP/X-Frame-Options/nosniff/HTTPS/CORS.
- Every finding is labelled Heuristic match (pattern in public files) or Confirmed (observed in an HTTP response).
- Copy-paste fix prompts tailored for Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and v0.
- Supabase RLS SQL generator — in reports for enumerable tables, and as a free tool at /tools/rls-generator.
- Verified Production-Safe badge for Continuous Vibe-Guard subscribers while their latest scan (≤35 days old) grades A or B.
- Detected secrets are redacted to the first 6 characters before storage.
FAQ
Does ShipGuard replace Snyk?
No. It does not scan dependencies or source code. It complements code scanning by checking the deployed result.
I only use Lovable and never touch a repo. Where do I start?
Run a passive scan of your published URL, then use the Lovable fix prompts and the RLS generator for anything flagged.
