Does OWASP ZAP check for Supabase RLS misconfig?

OWASP ZAP is a web application scanner that tests HTTP endpoints. It does not check Supabase row-level security configuration, which lives at the database layer. Launch Ready Code includes RLS checks as a core part of every audit.

Yes. OWASP ZAP is open-source and free. It requires technical knowledge to set up and interpret results. Launch Ready Code has a free scan entry point at launchreadycode.com that takes a URL and returns a Launch Readiness Score /100 in 60 seconds, no setup needed.

What is the OWASP Top 10 and how does Launch Ready Code use it?

The OWASP Top 10 (owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/) is the industry-standard list of the most critical web application security risks. Launch Ready Code runs checks against the full OWASP Top 10 on every audit, alongside CWE Top 25 and CVSS v3 severity scoring.

OWASP ZAP Alternative for Vibe-Coded Apps

Q: Is Launch Ready Code better than OWASP ZAP for vibe-coded apps?

OWASP ZAP is a free, open-source DAST scanner designed for security engineers and CI pipelines. Launch Ready Code is an automated audit service for founders who shipped on AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Replit. ZAP requires setup and expertise; Launch Ready Code takes a URL and returns findings with fixes in under 48 hours.

OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) is a free, open-source web application scanner maintained by the OWASP Foundation. It is widely used in CI pipelines and by security engineers who want automated DAST scanning without a licensing cost.

Launch Ready Code is an automated audit service for founders who shipped on Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Replit. It runs automatically against your live URL, requires no technical configuration, and returns ranked findings with copy-paste fixes in under 48 hours.

Launch Ready Code internal data (the vibe-coded apps we've audited): an average Launch Readiness Score around 44/100 on first audit, with most apps carrying at least one P0 critical finding, missing HTTP security headers, or exposing API keys and secrets. CVE-2025-48757 affected 170+ Lovable-built apps with disabled Supabase RLS. Sources: NVD CVE-2025-48757, OWASP Top 10.

How does OWASP ZAP compare to Launch Ready Code for vibe-coded apps?

The security vulnerabilities discussed here are catalogued in the OWASP Top 10 — the industry standard for web application risk. Severity scores for individual CVEs are published by NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD).

Across the 700+ vibe-coded applications Launch Ready Code has scanned, most have at least one critical security finding at their first audit, with an average Launch Readiness Score around 44/100 — LRC scan data, 2026.

What does OWASP ZAP miss in vibe-coded apps specifically?

OWASP ZAP is a strong general-purpose DAST tool, but it was designed for engineering teams with time to tune scan rules and interpret raw output. Vibe-coded apps have a specific failure profile that ZAP’s defaults don’t cover:

Supabase RLS. ZAP scans HTTP responses. It doesn’t query your Supabase project directly to check whether row-level security is enabled on your tables. This was the most common P0 finding in our first 200 audits.
API keys in client bundles. ZAP can be configured to scan JavaScript content, but default rules don’t reliably catch Stripe, OpenAI, or Resend API keys embedded in a Vite or Next.js bundle.
ZAP false positives. Out-of-the-box ZAP generates many false positives. Founders spend hours triaging alerts that don’t represent real risk. Launch Ready Code findings are engineer-verified and ranked by actual exploitability.
No fix guidance. ZAP tells you what it found. Launch Ready Code tells you what it found, why it matters, and the exact change to make — formatted for the AI tool that built the app.

ZAP is free and powerful. The cost is the time it takes to tune, run, and interpret it. For a founder between product and growth, that cost is real.

What does Launch Ready Code check according to OWASP standards?

Every audit covers the OWASP Top 10 security risks, the MITRE CWE Top 25 most dangerous software weaknesses, and applies CVSS v3 severity scoring to every finding. Findings are ranked P0 (critical) to P3 (informational) with estimated remediation time per issue.

Common questions about OWASP ZAP alternatives?

Is Launch Ready Code better than OWASP ZAP for vibe-coded apps?

They solve different problems. ZAP is a free scanner you operate yourself. Launch Ready Code is an audit service that operates itself and returns actionable findings. For founders without security backgrounds, Launch Ready Code is significantly faster and produces fewer false positives.

What is the OWASP Top 10 and does Launch Ready Code cover it?

The OWASP Top 10 is the definitive list of ten most critical web application security risks. Launch Ready Code tests against all ten categories on every audit, plus CWE Top 25 and CVSS v3 scoring.

Is OWASP ZAP good for Supabase or Firebase apps?

ZAP can test the HTTP endpoints of Supabase or Firebase apps. It cannot directly check whether RLS policies are enabled on Supabase tables or whether Firebase security rules are too permissive. Launch Ready Code checks both.

How many false positives does Launch Ready Code generate?

Launch Ready Code findings are engineer-verified before delivery. Every finding has a severity, a description, and a fix. The goal is a list you can act on, not a raw scan dump.
