Comparison
Talon vs VibeAppScanner
Side-by-side comparison for securing vibe-coded and AI-generated apps.
We scanned 12,000 vibe-coded apps and found that 92% had at least one security issue visible from the public internet — exposed API keys, missing headers, leaked database credentials, and debug endpoints left open. Read the full study →

Why Talon
Talon combines passive surface scanning with active deep probing and optional repo analysis in a single tool. The free surface scan runs six checks — security headers, certificate transparency, GitHub credential scanning, indexed file exposure, debug endpoints, and client-side JS analysis — and delivers a full report to your inbox.
The deep scan adds auth endpoint testing, API exposure detection, CORS misconfiguration, Firebase/Supabase live rule probing, and JS bundle secret scanning. Connect a GitHub repo for static analysis: commit history secrets, SQL injection patterns, dependency CVEs, and unsafe code patterns.
Every report includes a master fix prompt — a compiled list of every finding formatted for Cursor or Claude so you can patch everything in one session.
Built on data from scanning 12,000 vibe-coded apps.
