FAQPage Schema

How do I scan my Capacitor app for security vulnerabilities?▼

Scan your Capacitor app for security vulnerabilities by running the Capsec scanner via npx capsec scan ./my-app to detect storage, network, and cryptography issues. The tool analyzes your mobile app's security posture and identifies hardcoded secrets.

What mobile app security checks does a Capacitor security audit include?▼

A Capacitor security audit includes checking for hardcoded secrets, insecure storage, network vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, weak cryptography, and platform-specific mobile app security issues. It applies over 63 security rules to evaluate your application.

Do I need Python to run Capsec for mobile app security scanning?▼

Yes, you need Python with necessary libraries to run Capsec for mobile app security scanning. The scanner assumes a Python environment is present alongside your Capacitor project to execute its vulnerability detection routines.

Can I integrate Capacitor security scanning into my CI/CD pipeline?▼

Yes, you can integrate Capacitor security scanning into your CI/CD pipeline. The Capsec scanner runs via command line, allowing automated vulnerability detection during continuous integration to catch secrets and security flaws.

What is the best way to detect hardcoded secrets in an Ionic Capacitor project?▼

The best way to detect hardcoded secrets in an Ionic Capacitor project is using the Capsec scanner. It specifically targets your app's source code to identify exposed credentials and configuration vulnerabilities across platform-specific layers.

Are there limitations to using automated security scanners for Capacitor apps?▼

Automated security scanners for Capacitor apps are limited by their rule sets and dependency on a Python environment. While they detect common vulnerabilities like insecure storage and network issues, manual review remains necessary for complex logic flaws.
