Why Vercel Apps Get Hacked
Vercel makes deploys effortless, but the platform does not harden your app for you. Environment variables marked for the browser get inlined, security headers are off unless you add them, and preview deployments can expose unreleased features or staging data on guessable URLs. We scan what your live Vercel deployment actually serves.
Common Vercel Vulnerabilities
Browser-exposed env vars
Variables exposed to the client (NEXT_PUBLIC_ / build-time inlining) ship to every visitor. Secrets must be server-only environment variables.
Missing security headers
Vercel adds no CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options by default — they must be set in next.config or vercel.json headers. Most projects skip this.
Exposed preview deployments
Preview URLs can leak unreleased features, debug endpoints, or staging data if they are not protected with deployment protection / password.
Unprotected serverless functions
API routes / serverless functions with no auth, no rate limiting, and verbose errors are directly callable from anywhere.
SSRF from edge/server functions
Functions that fetch user-supplied URLs can be turned into SSRF against internal or cloud-metadata endpoints.
What the Sable Scan Checks
Exposed secrets & API keys
We scan your client-side bundles and responses for leaked API keys, tokens, database URLs, and 100+ secret patterns that ship to the browser by accident.
Security headers & TLS
HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and TLS protocol/cipher configuration — graded A-F with copy-paste fixes.
CORS & access control
Overly permissive CORS, wildcard origins with credentials, and broken object-level authorization (IDOR/BOLA) where one user can reach another user's data.
Injection & API surface
SQL/NoSQL injection, exposed OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL introspection, mass assignment, missing rate limits, and excessive data exposure.
OWASP Top 10 coverage
Autonomous pentesting agents test against the full OWASP Top 10 2025, validate each finding with a proof-of-concept, and re-test after you fix.
Validated findings, not noise
Every reported issue is confirmed by an agent before it reaches you — so you get real, exploitable findings with severity and remediation, not scanner spam.
