AI Coding Tools: Security Risks
Every AI coding tool introduces different security patterns. Understand the risks of each tool so you know what to check before shipping.
Cursor
Cursor is the leading AI-powered code editor, used by thousands of developers to build full-stack applications at unprecedented speed. It generates high-quality code that runs correctly — but "runs correctly" and "is secure" are two very different standards.
Lovable
Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) generates full-stack web applications from natural language prompts. It produces beautiful, functional apps using React + Supabase — but the speed of generation means security is often an afterthought.
Bolt
Bolt.new by StackBlitz generates and runs full-stack web applications entirely in the browser. Its WebContainer technology lets you go from prompt to running app without any local setup. The result is incredibly fast iteration — and incredibly fast deployment of insecure code.
