FixVibe vs Burp, ZAP, Snyk and Aikido for AI-built apps
You're choosing a security scanner for an app built with AI coding tools. FixVibe checks the live app and your GitHub repo; Burp Suite and ZAP are general web-app testing tools; Snyk, Semgrep and Aikido focus on source code and dependencies. This guide covers what to evaluate, what each tool is for, and a decision matrix for six common scenarios.
평가 대상
모든 스캐너가 동일하게 생성되는 것은 아닙니다. AI- 생성된 SaaS의 경우 몇 가지 차원이 다른 차원보다 더 중요합니다.
- Time to first scan. URL을 붙여넣고 몇 분 안에 결과를 얻을 수 있습니까? 아니면 프록시를 설치하거나 브라우저를 구성하거나 에이전트를 배포해야 합니까?
- BaaS platform awareness. Real checks against Supabase RLS, Firebase rules, and Clerk or Auth0 configuration, not generic OWASP rules. AI-generated SaaS almost always uses a managed auth or database service.
- JS bundle secret detection. Does it recognise the key formats your stack uses (Stripe, Supabase, OpenAI, AWS…) and tell a publishable key from a secret one? Leaked keys in bundles are among the most damaging findings in AI-generated apps.
- Framework awareness. Does it understand Next.js, Vite single-page apps, and hosts like Vercel, Netlify and Cloudflare Pages, so their normal behaviour is not reported as a vulnerability?
- Bounded, authorized active probes. SQLi, XSS, SSTI, IDOR, CORS, 리디렉션 — 하지만 소유권을 확인한 도메인에 대해서만 가능합니다. 합법적이고 책임감이 있습니다.
- First-class REST API and MCP. 스캔을 CI / Cursor / MCP에 통합할 수 있습니까? 아니면 UI 웹이 유일한 경로인가요?
- False-positive rate. 몇 개의 발견 항목이 노이즈입니까? 보고서당 분류 오버헤드는 얼마나 됩니까?
- Speed to report. 초? 분? 몇 시간? 스캔에 10분이 걸리면 커밋할 때마다 실행할 수 없습니다.
FixVibe
FixVibe checks live apps built with AI coding tools. Passive scans run on every plan (3 a month on Free, 50 on Hobby, 200 on Pro, fair-use unlimited on Unlimited). Active scans need a verified domain and start on Hobby; GitHub repo scans start on Pro.
Strengths
- BaaS-native. Real checks for Supabase RLS, Firebase rules, and Clerk and Auth0 configuration — the managed services common in AI-generated apps. Not generic OWASP rules.
- Tuned for AI code. 230+ passive checks per URL scan, 130+ active checks on verified domains, and 190+ checks per GitHub repo scan, with awareness of Next.js, Vite, and deployment platforms.
- Fast. A passive scan usually finishes in under a minute. No setup, no proxy, no install. Paste a URL, wait for the report.
- Integration-first. REST API, MCP server and signed webhooks on paid plans. Audit logs, a public changelog, coding-agent prompts for code/config fixes, and operator steps for DNS/provider-owned fixes.
Weaknesses
- Public URLs only. Can't scan localhost or internal networks, so staging and dev work needs a publicly reachable URL.
- No on-premises option. SaaS-only. If compliance requires air-gapped scanning, FixVibe isn't available.
Burp Suite
Burp Suite Professional is a web penetration-testing toolkit: an intercepting proxy, manual testing tools and an automated vulnerability scanner. The free Community Edition includes the manual tools.
Best for: security engineers who need to craft custom attacks, chain steps, and test app-specific logic by hand. It takes setup and skill; it has no built-in knowledge of Supabase or Firebase rules.
OWASP ZAP
ZAP is a free, open-source web app scanner with a large contributor community.
Best for: teams that want a free scanner they run and tune themselves, including in their own CI. Like Burp, it treats every app as a generic web app.
Source-code and dependency scanners (Snyk, Semgrep, Aikido)
These tools analyze your repository rather than the running app. They complement a live-app scanner: they see code paths that never reach production, and miss configuration that only exists there.
- Snyk — dependency (SCA), code (SAST), container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, with a free plan.
- Semgrep — code (SAST), supply-chain and secrets scanning, with a free edition for small teams.
- Aikido — one platform for code, dependencies, secrets, cloud configuration and some dynamic testing, with a free developer plan.
Network and host scanners (Nessus)
These tools assess servers and networks rather than web applications. They matter if you run your own machines; they add little for an app hosted on Vercel or Netlify.
- Nessus — Tenable's vulnerability assessment tool for hosts and networks.
나란히 비교
How the three live-app scanners differ for an AI-built app:
| Aspect | FixVibe | 버프 스위트 | ZAP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Paste a URL | Install the app and route a browser through its proxy | Install and configure the scanner |
| Active testing (SQLi, XSS, IDOR) | Yes, on verified domains only | Yes, manual and automated | Yes, automated |
| Price | Free plan + paid plans | Paid; free Community Edition | Free (open source) |
| What it can reach | Public URLs and connected GitHub repos | Anything your machine can reach | Anything your machine can reach |
결정 매트릭스: 귀하의 시나리오에 적합한 스캐너는 무엇입니까?
모든 팀에 가장 적합한 단일 도구는 없습니다. 이 매트릭스를 사용하여 귀하에게 적합한 것을 찾으십시오.
You're shipping a Cursor + Supabase + Vercel SaaS and want a baseline security scan before launch.
FixVibe Free or Hobby. Paste your live URL, run passive scans, get BaaS-aware findings, and copy the right remediation action back to Cursor or your provider console. No setup overhead.
You built a Lovable app on Supabase and want to confirm users can't read each other's data.
FixVibe Hobby or Pro. Run a passive scan for open Supabase tables, then verify your custom domain to run active checks such as IDOR and auth-flow tests.
You have a static Vite SPA on Cloudflare Pages and want scheduled vulnerability scans.
FixVibe Pro with scheduled scans. Verify the domain, schedule re-scans, and send findings to your own endpoint with signed webhooks. Passive scans cover headers, CSP and exposed secrets; active scans add checks such as reflected XSS.
각 릴리스 전에 소스 코드에 하드코딩된 비밀 및 공급망 위험을 감사하고 싶습니다.
FixVibe Pro or Unlimited, plus a code scanner in CI. FixVibe's GitHub repo scans flag hardcoded secrets, risky code patterns and vulnerable dependencies; Snyk, Semgrep or Aikido can also run in your CI pipeline.
맞춤형 공격 워크벤치가 필요하고 도구 숙달에 투자할 의향이 있는 보안 엔지니어 팀이 있습니다.
Burp Suite Professional. The standard workbench for manual testing. Use it alongside an automated scanner such as FixVibe.
Your organisation requires on-premises scanning and compliance audit trails.
A self-hosted toolchain. FixVibe is SaaS-only. ZAP can run on your own infrastructure, and Nessus covers host and network assessment.
다음 단계
Pick the scanner that matches your scenario. Combine a live-app scanner (FixVibe, Burp, ZAP) with a code scanner (Snyk, Semgrep, Aikido) for full coverage. For a comprehensive pre-launch audit, see Pre-launch SaaS security checklist.
