Automate Your Firebase Security Audits
Stop relying on manual, error-prone security checks. Our Multi-Scanner Architecture uses specialized scanners for Authentication, Functions, Storage, and Database rules to catch vulnerabilities before they become breaches.
Unlike generic security tools, our specialized scanners are built for Firebase: Authentication Scanner checks user policies and provider configs, Functions Scanner identifies injection vulnerabilities and exposed endpoints, Storage Scanner audits file access rules, and Database Scanner analyzes Firestore/Realtime DB permissions.
Choose your workflow: Auto-scan runs security audits automatically on deployment, Prompt mode asks for confirmation before each scan, or Manual mode gives you complete control. Save time while ensuring nothing is missed, all on your terms.
Get detailed vulnerability reports with severity ratings, exact code snippets showing the problem, and step-by-step remediation guides. No more guessing—just clear instructions to fix issues and prevent future problems.
Set up automated, recurring security audits that run on schedule or trigger when you deploy changes. Get instant alerts when new vulnerabilities are introduced, ensuring your security posture stays strong as your app evolves.
Track compliance against industry standards (GDPR, SOC 2) with real-time evaluation. Export comprehensive security reports for compliance documentation, team collaboration, and audit trails.

The Pain: Manual Security Checks Are Broken
The Pain: Manual Security Checks Are Broken
Manual security audits are a developer’s nightmare:
- Time-Consuming and Error-Prone: Manually checking Firestore rules, authentication settings, and function configurations takes hours and you’ll still miss critical vulnerabilities
- Inconsistent Coverage: Different team members check different things, leading to gaps in security coverage
- No Real-Time Protection: Manual audits happen infrequently, leaving your app vulnerable between checks
- Lack of Expertise: Security best practices for Firebase are complex and constantly evolving—keeping up is nearly impossible
The result? Security vulnerabilities slip through, data breaches happen, and compliance failures create massive business risks.
The Gain: Multi-Scanner Architecture
Our specialized scanning system automatically inspects every aspect of your Firebase setup:
Authentication Scanner: Identifies weak password policies, misconfigured providers, and authentication bypass vulnerabilities
Database Scanner: Analyzes Firestore and Realtime Database rules for permission escalation, data exposure, and access control issues
Functions Scanner: Detects injection vulnerabilities, exposed admin endpoints, and missing security controls
Storage Scanner: Audits file access rules and identifies potential data leakage points
Scan Preferences Give You Control:
- Auto-scan: Automatic security audits on every deployment
- Prompt: Get asked before each scan for maximum control
- Manual: Run security audits exactly when you want them
Save time, catch more vulnerabilities, and ensure nothing is missed—all while working the way your team prefers.
Common Firebase Security Misconfigurations
Firestore & Realtime Database Issues
- World-Readable Data: Rules that allow
allow read: if trueon sensitive collections - Missing Authentication: Database access without proper user authentication checks
- Overly Broad Permissions: Rules that grant more access than necessary
- Resource Leaks: Rules that allow users to access documents they shouldn’t see
- Missing Field Validation: Absence of proper data validation in security rules
Authentication Vulnerabilities
- Weak Password Policies: No minimum password requirements or complexity rules
- Unverified Email Access: Allowing unverified users to access sensitive features
- Insecure Provider Configuration: OAuth providers configured with overly broad scopes
- Missing MFA: No multi-factor authentication for sensitive operations
- Anonymous User Persistence: Anonymous users with permanent access to sensitive data
Cloud Functions Security Gaps
- Missing CORS Configuration: Functions vulnerable to cross-origin attacks
- Inadequate Input Validation: Functions that don’t properly sanitize user input
- Exposed Admin Endpoints: Administrative functions accessible without proper authorization
- Hardcoded Secrets: API keys or sensitive data embedded directly in function code
- Missing Rate Limiting: Functions vulnerable to abuse and DoS attacks
How Flames Shield Security Auditing Works
Flames Shield provides comprehensive, automated security analysis that goes beyond basic configuration checks:
1. Deep Rule Analysis
Our engine doesn’t just check for obvious mistakes – it analyzes the logical flow of your security rules to identify subtle vulnerabilities:
- Path Traversal Detection: Identifies rules that might allow users to access unintended document paths
- Logic Gap Analysis: Finds contradictions or gaps in rule logic that could be exploited
- Permission Escalation Risks: Detects scenarios where users might gain unintended elevated access
2. Contextual Authentication Review
We analyze your authentication setup in the context of your specific application:
- Provider-Specific Recommendations: Tailored advice based on which auth providers you’re using
- Custom Claims Validation: Analysis of custom user claims and their security implications
- Session Management Review: Evaluation of token expiration and refresh policies
3. Function Security Scanning
Our analysis goes beyond static code review to understand the security implications of your function architecture:
- Dependency Vulnerability Scanning: Check for known vulnerabilities in your function dependencies
- Environment Variable Security: Ensure sensitive configuration is properly protected
- Cross-Function Permission Analysis: Identify potential privilege escalation between functions
4. Real-Time Compliance Monitoring
Stay compliant with security standards and regulations:
- GDPR Compliance Checks: Ensure data handling meets privacy requirements
- SOC 2 Alignment: Verify configurations align with SOC 2 security controls
- Custom Policy Enforcement: Define and monitor adherence to your organization’s security policies
5. Actionable Remediation Guidance
Every identified issue comes with:
- Severity Assessment: Clear understanding of risk level and urgency
- Step-by-Step Fixes: Detailed instructions to resolve each vulnerability
- Code Examples: Secure configuration examples you can copy and adapt
- Best Practice Education: Context about why the issue matters and how to prevent similar problems
By combining automated scanning with intelligent analysis, Flames Shield helps you maintain a strong security posture without requiring deep Firebase security expertise. Our goal is to make Firebase security accessible and manageable for development teams of all sizes.
