How To Use StackHawk and Cursor to Ship Secure Code Faster

Want to build secure apps using AI? This video shows you exactly how. In this tutorial, I walk through a full hands-on workflow using Cursor and StackHawk to find and fix real security issues in a Node.js API — with almost no manual remediation. You’ll learn how to: • Set up a StackHawk app to scan for security vulnerabilities • Feed StackHawk scan results into Cursor as context • Use AI prompts to fix real vulnerabilities like SQL injection • Rescan to validate that the issue was properly fixed • Repeat the workflow to remediate additional findings 🛠️ Tools Used: • Cursor (AI IDE / code agent) • StackHawk (Dynamic App Security Testing) 💡 This workflow scales well whether you’re securing an early-stage app or integrating security into CI/CD. ⸻ 🔗 Useful Links: • Full blog tutorial: https://www.stackhawk.com/blog/secure-code-with-cursor/?utm_source=matt_tanner_tech&utm_medium=youtube • StackHawk: https://www.stackhawk.com?utm_source=matt_tanner_tech&utm_medium=youtube • Cursor: https://www.cursor.so?utm_source=matt_tanner_tech&utm_medium=youtube ⸻ 👨‍💻 Great for developers, AppSec teams, or anyone exploring how to combine AI agents with real security tooling to build safer code, faster. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you want more secure coding walkthroughs!
