ShippingSZN

ShippingSZN is a scanning tool built for the specific moment right before you invite users into an app you built with AI coding assistants. It runs a set of checks against your live site and flags the kinds of issues that AI-generated code tends to miss, such as uncapped API routes, missing authentication flows, weak security headers, and broken deployment configurations. The goal is to catch the oversights before they become embarrassing support tickets or worse.

The problem it addresses is one that anyone shipping fast with AI tools will recognize. Cursor, Claude Code, and similar assistants are remarkably good at generating working features, but they don't always remember to rate-limit the endpoint or add CSRF protection or verify that your sitemap actually resolves. Those gaps don't show up when you're testing locally. They show up when real traffic arrives. ShippingSZN tries to surface them before that moment.

The scanner covers several categories. It checks for authentication and authorization issues, looking for routes that should be protected but aren't. It looks for AI API endpoints without rate limiting, the kind that can rack up a surprise bill if someone finds them. It reviews security headers and deployment settings. It also catches visibility problems like SEO gaps, missing meta tags, placeholder content, and broken redirects that would hurt a launch even if they're not security risks.

Who it's for is pretty clear from the positioning. If you're a founder or solo developer shipping an AI-powered app and you don't have a security team to run a pre-launch audit, this tool fills that role. It's not a full penetration test, but it handles the checklist of common mistakes that even experienced developers forget when they're moving quickly.

What makes it different from a generic security scanner is the focus on AI-built app patterns. It knows which endpoints are likely to hit OpenAI or Anthropic and checks whether they're protected. It knows that AI coding tools sometimes leave placeholder text in the codebase. It's tuned for the specific failure modes of shipping with AI assistance.

Access starts with a free CLI that gives you a launch-readiness score, severity counts, and a general band for whether you're ready to ship. If you want the detailed findings, fix checklists, and verification steps, there's a Launch Fix Kit available for a one-time payment of $49.
