It performs static and dynamic analysis to identify common vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and insecure direct object references. The platform also detects misconfigurations in server settings and dependencies, providing actionable remediation advice. By automating these checks, Vercel Security Checkpoint helps development teams proactively address security risks before deployment, thereby strengthening their overall security posture.
