buggy.run is an AI-powered security audit platform that crawls both public and authenticated pages of web applications, captures real network traffic, and identifies data leaks and vulnerabilities with plain-English fix instructions.
What is buggy.run?
buggy.run is a web-based security auditing tool that takes a target URL (and optional test credentials) as input and produces a ranked list of vulnerabilities with explanations and fixes. It runs entirely in the cloud—no SDK installation or code changes required—and is built by the Buggy team (no company name visible on the site).
Key Features
- AI data-leak analysis — Inspects every captured HTTP response for session tokens, PII, API keys, and other secrets that shouldn't be on the wire, catching context-dependent leaks pattern-based scanners miss.
- 56+ automated security checks — Tests for security headers, TLS/SSL misconfigurations, cookie issues, SQL injection, XSS, forced browsing, and more, applied to every discovered page.
- Authenticated crawling — Using provided credentials (auto sign-in or manual), Buggy explores pages behind login that most scanners never reach, including dashboards, settings, and APIs.
- AI triage agent — Findings are ranked by severity and explained in plain English; users can ask follow-up questions, resolve, or ignore findings in one click.
- Safe load and rate-limit tests — Capped, non-disruptive probes reveal missing rate limits, account lockouts, and input-handling flaws without taking the app down.
- Continuous or on-demand audits — Schedule recurring scans or run manual audits before releases; regressions and new endpoints are caught automatically.
- One free audit — No credit card required to start.
Who is it for?
- Solo developers and small teams — Use Buggy to catch vulnerabilities before shipping, without needing a security background. The Starter plan fits this group.
- Security consultants and agencies — Run audits on multiple client projects; the Expert plan supports up to 100 audits per month across unlimited websites.
- DevOps and CI/CD pipelines — Integrate Buggy into deployment workflows to catch regressions every time code is pushed (continuous mode).
What can you do with buggy.run?
- Pre-release security audit — Point Buggy at a staging or production URL, let it crawl public and authenticated pages, and get a prioritized fix list before launch.
- Continuous regression detection — Schedule daily or weekly audits so new vulnerabilities introduced by code changes are caught immediately.
- Auth-zone testing — Supply test credentials (or auto sign-in) to audit pages behind login, including APIs and admin panels that public-only scanners miss.
How does buggy.run work?
- Connect — Enter your target URL and optionally provide test credentials or configure auto sign-in. Start an audit.
- Crawl & capture — An AI-driven crawler explores both public and in-app pages, capturing every network request. Responses are inspected for data leaks in real time.
- Triage — Findings are ranked by severity with plain-English explanations, exact request details, and recommended fixes. The AI agent answers follow-up questions; users can resolve or ignore findings.
Pricing
- Starter — $19.99/month, 10 audits per month, unlimited websites, automatic + manual audits, plain-English fixes.
- Expert — $49.99/month, 100 audits per month, unlimited websites, continuous live support, everything in Starter.
- Every account gets one free audit with no credit card required.
FAQ
Do I need to be a security expert to use buggy.run?
No. Findings are written in plain English with the exact fix, and you can ask the AI agent follow-up questions in normal language. If you can ship the app, you can act on the report.
How is buggy.run different from a regular vulnerability scanner?
Most scanners only test public pages and report generic header issues. Buggy crawls authenticated pages, captures real traffic, inspects responses for data leaks, and runs 56+ checks per page, including safe fuzzing and rate-limit tests.
Will buggy.run break or overload my site?
No. The load and rate-limit tests are safe and capped—they reveal missing limits without taking the app down.
Can I audit any website?
Only targets you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Scanning without permission violates the acceptable use policy.
What does an audit check?
56+ checks covering HTTP security headers, TLS/SSL, cookies/sessions, information disclosure, authentication APIs, input validation, server-side injection, client-side vulnerabilities, forced browsing, and protocol/cache issues.
