How it works
It thinks like a real user.
With a security mindset.
Switchyard runs your Rails app, just like a person would: clicking links, submitting forms, and following real page flows. Along the way, it pokes and prods for common Rails vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and logic flaws.

XSS & Injection
Tests for reflected and stored XSS, SQL injection, and more.
CSRF & Session Issues
Checks for missing CSRF protections and session security missteps.
Insecure Configurations
Flags risky settings (debug mode, verbose errors, open redirects).
Custom Checks
Rails-specific heuristics and community-informed checks.
Comparison
A clearer, stronger way to secure Rails.
