How does Windsurf compare to Cursor for code security?
Both Windsurf and Cursor are AI-powered code editors that generate code with similar security characteristics, as they draw from comparable training data and code patterns. Neither tool performs security-specific analysis on generated output, so both can produce code with vulnerabilities like injection flaws, missing authentication, or insecure configurations. Cursor integrates with multiple AI models while Windsurf uses Codeium proprietary models, but the security quality of generated code depends more on the developer prompt than the underlying model. The key differentiator is the developer workflow, as both require manual security review and testing before production deployment. UNPWNED scans the final deployed application and produces the same comprehensive security report regardless of which AI editor was used to build it.
