Free Base44 site security check
An outside-in scan of your live Base44 site, scored and explained in plain English.
I want to be fair to Base44 before I get to the hard part: it is brilliant software. I used it to build an app for a wellness client — it intakes a client's information and suggests the right products back to them — and the speed was genuinely impressive. Templates got me moving in minutes and the creative freedom was real. But once the app was live and handling real people, I ran a Base44 site security check on it, and what came back changed how I think about the platform.
The security audit found hole after hole. I do not say this lightly: a cyber threat was a keystroke away. On a site that had been live for only two weeks, we found 75 phantom accounts — accounts nobody legitimate had created. My freelancer had never warned me any of this was possible; I only learned it because the audit surfaced it in plain language.
There is a second problem that is easy to miss until it is too late. You cannot get a working copy of your app out of Base44. There is a code export, but it is only the front end — the backend, database, auth and integrations stay tethered to Base44's own servers, so the exported code will not actually run anywhere else without a full rebuild. You cannot drop a genuine backup into your own repository, and if you stop paying, the app keeps sitting there but the backend features that make it work quietly stop. This scan looks at your live Base44 build from the outside and scores exactly what an attacker — or an investor doing diligence — would find.
You are probably here because
- I built fast on Base44 and now I am collecting real user information, but I have no idea what is actually exposed.
- My site has only been live a short time and I have already noticed accounts or activity I cannot explain.
- I want a backup of my own code in my own repository, and I am realising I cannot actually get a working one out.
- I want to sell this to an investor or grow it long-term, and I need to know whether it is built on something I truly control.
What the check looks at
- HTTP security headers — which are present, which are missing, and what each gap exposes
- Secrets and credentials reachable from the client-side bundle
- Publicly accessible files, paths and endpoints that should not be open
- HTTPS enforcement, HSTS and redirect behaviour
- Signs of the exposure that lets unwanted or phantom accounts get created
- Where you stand against SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS — and why platform lock-in makes some of these hard to ever satisfy
How it works
Paste your URL
No install, no repo access, no credit card. The check runs against your live site exactly as a visitor or crawler sees it.
Get a scored breakdown
Every dimension is scored and weighted, so you can see which single issue is costing you the most rather than staring at a flat list of warnings.
Keep the report
You get a shareable results link and a downloadable report you can hand to a developer, a client, or a buyer asking hard questions.
Base44 is a great way to flush out a concept and get a real market test in front of people quickly — that is exactly what I used it for. What it is not, in my experience, is a foundation for something you intend to sustain, secure properly, or sell to an investor, because you do not fully control the code or the infrastructure underneath it. This check tells you plainly where your live build stands so you can decide that with eyes open, not after the fact.
Run it on your own site
You get a score, the specific findings, and a report you keep — whether or not you ever talk to us.

Does the Base44 site security check modify anything?
No. It is read-only and non-invasive. It does not exploit, submit forms, write data or attempt to authenticate — it only reads what your live site already serves to any visitor.
Why did a Base44 site security check find accounts I never created?
When sign-up or backend endpoints are not properly gated, automated traffic can create accounts on their own. On one Base44 build that had been live for two weeks, we found 75 of these phantom accounts. The scan flags the externally visible exposure that makes this possible so you can see whether your build is at risk.
Can I export my Base44 code and host it somewhere safer?
Only partly, and this catches a lot of founders out. The export gives you the front end, but the backend, database, auth and integrations stay tied to Base44's servers, so the exported code does not run standalone without a full rebuild. That means no true off-platform backup, and if you stop paying the backend features stop working — which is a stability and ownership risk worth knowing before you build anything you plan to keep.
Is a free scan enough for an enterprise or investor security review?
No. It tells you where you stand on the externally visible surface and which frameworks you are short of. A formal review also covers your internal authorization model and data handling — and with a locked-in platform, the fact that you do not control the underlying infrastructure is itself something a serious buyer will flag.
