Ruby on Rails Security Scanner

Automatically scan your Ruby on Rails application for vulnerabilities - exposed credentials, mass assignment bypass, SQL injection indicators, and OWASP Top 10 issues.

No installation  ·  No credit card required  ·  Results in 5 minutes

Exposed config/credentials.yml.enc or master.key
Mass assignment / strong parameters bypass
CSRF protection status
Debug mode / detailed error pages
SQL injection via unsafe interpolation
Missing security headers
SSL/TLS configuration
Dark web credential monitoring

Rails' convention-over-configuration philosophy means CSRF protection and mass-assignment protection (strong parameters, standard since Rails 4) are both on by default - the risk in a real Rails application usually isn't a missing protection, it's a deliberate, explicit bypass: params.permit! (permitting every attribute with no allowlist at all) or skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token added to solve an integration problem and never revisited.

config/master.key decrypts config/credentials.yml.enc, which typically holds every secret the application needs - database credentials, API keys, session secret_key_base. The encrypted credentials file is safe to commit; the master key is not, and it's a one-line git add away from being committed by anyone unfamiliar with which of the two files is which.

ActiveRecord parameterizes standard query methods automatically, but where("status = '#{params[:status]}'") and other manually-interpolated SQL fragments reopen injection exactly the way Laravel's whereRaw and Symfony's raw DQL do - see our Laravel vulnerabilities guide for the identical underlying pattern across frameworks.
