Citadel

App built with Claude Code: the security check before going live

Claude Code works right in your repository: it creates files, installs packages, writes migrations. It is excellent at shipping fast, and it follows your instructions. But it only knows what you tell it about your access rules, your sensitive data and your deployment.

An independent analysis after each big work session, or on every push, gives you an overview the agent doesn’t have: every flaw in the project, ranked by severity, with the fix prompt to hand back to it.

Ten free analyses every month, no card needed. First report in minutes.

The most common flaws

Sensitive files added to the repository

A .env file, a private key or an access token committed by mistake is readable by anyone with access to the repository.

Incomplete access control

An API route or server action added at the end of a session without checking the user: the most common flaw in generated apps.

Dependencies added unchecked

Each package the agent installs widens the attack surface. Citadel compares every version against public vulnerability databases.

Overly broad database rules

Supabase “true” policies, tables without RLS: a quick fix to unblock a screen becomes an open door.
