v0 scanner

Beautiful UI,default plumbing

What v0 is very good at is the part you can see. The part you cannot — the response headers, the cache behaviour, the cookie flags, whether your project’s own config files answer at a URL — is whatever the framework and the host shipped by default. That is what this scan reads.

  • No agent
  • Reads the live URL
  • 85 checks in every scan

Why this shape of app

The host
is part of the app

A generated interface usually goes live on Vercel in one click, and a deployment platform has its own set of switches. Most of them are correct out of the box. A few are correct for the developer who is debugging, not for the app that has 400 users.

  • The project files can answer

    There is a hosting check for exactly this: on a detected Vercel deployment it asks whether the project’s own files — its secrets and its configuration — are reachable at a URL, what the edge cache did with a response that sets cookies, and whether the site is being served from the platform’s shared domain rather than its own.

  • Cached responses and sessions

    An edge cache that stores a response carrying your session cookie can hand that response to the next visitor. It is rare, it is catastrophic, and it is one check that asks the cache a question and reads what came back.

  • The banners say what you run

    A server header, an X-Powered-By, a framework fingerprint in the HTML. Together they tell a stranger the exact version your app is running, which is the sentence an exploit is written against. The scan reads the stack and reports the components with a public exploit against them.

  • Source maps ship the source

    A build that leaves source maps published gives anyone the original files — comments, internal paths, and occasionally the value that was supposed to stay in the server. The check looks for them, and the secrets check reads what is in the bundle the browser downloads.

What runs on your URL

The checks that
bite hardest here

A shortlist, not a special mode: paste a v0 URL and the whole scan runs. These are the checks that most often have something to say about an app built here.

  • Content-Security-Policy
  • Vercel hosting security
  • Cookie security flags
  • Server header disclosure
  • X-Powered-By disclosure
  • Secrets in JavaScript
  • Source maps
  • Open redirect through URL parameters
  • Tech stack inventory
  • Mobile API rate limiting
  • Canonical URL
  • Duplicate titles and descriptions

Every one of these runs on every scan, whatever built your app. What each check looks at is on the full list.

The interface was generated in a minute. The headers were never generated at all.

Stated plainly

What this page
is not claiming

  • There is no v0 check in the scanner. There is a Vercel hosting check, because v0 apps usually deploy there — and if yours sits somewhere else, that check abstains and the other 84 run anyway.

  • The scan sees the deployed site, not the project. It cannot read your Vercel dashboard, your environment variables, or the code between commits. Where a check needs a platform account it does not have, the report records that it could not look rather than guessing.

  • It is not a penetration test. It never logs in, never submits anything of yours, never calls a state-changing endpoint, and refuses private and metadata addresses before a request leaves. The active checks run only on a domain you have proved you own.

  • A clean scan is not a launch approval. It is 85 true statements about one URL on one day — which is a good deal better than a vibe check, and still not a substitute for reading the code you are about to send to customers.

How the scan runs

Three steps,
one URL

No agent to install, no DNS change, no access to your account. The scan reads the site the way a stranger does.

  1. Step 1

    Paste the URL you share

    The deployment URL or your own domain once it points there. No account connection, nothing to install.

  2. Step 2

    It reads; it does not poke

    One fetch of the page answers most of the list. Where a check has to make more requests there are budgets: a five-second cap per fetch, a small number of probes per scan, robots.txt obeyed throughout.

  3. Step 3

    Take the evidence and the prompt

    Every finding carries the header, the path or the status code behind it, plus a prompt for the same agent that wrote the app — the fix is pasteable rather than a lecture.

Check the plumbing
behind the polish

Paste the URL and the whole list runs against it — the config files, the cache, the banners, the cookie flags. About a minute, and a free account.
