Free Source Map Exposure Scanner
SaaSalyst scans Source Map Scanner-built applications across 52 business readiness signals. Our data shows that apps built with AI builders frequently ship without privacy policies, EU AI Act compliance, or proper security headers that block growth.
Scan for exposed source maps freeWhy This Matters
Exposed source maps let anyone read your original, unminified source code — including business logic, API endpoints, and internal comments. Build systems generate source maps by default, and they often deploy to production without review. This is a low-effort, high-impact vulnerability.

What Source Map Scanner Does Well
Exposed source maps let anyone read your original, unminified source code — including business logic, API endpoints, and internal comments. SaaSalyst checks up to 5 of your JavaScript bundles for publicly accessible .map files by probing for [script].map URLs. If source maps are exposed, attackers can reverse-engineer your application and find vulnerabilities faster.
What Source Map Scanner Doesn't Check
- JavaScript .map files publicly accessible in production — source code readable by anyone
- Build system generates source maps by default and they get deployed without review
- CDN caching source maps even after they're removed from the origin server
- Source maps removed from HTML but still accessible via direct URL

How to Fix It
The fastest way to identify your specific gaps is to scan your Source Map Scanner app with SaaSalyst. The free scan takes 30 seconds and shows you exactly which of the 52 business readiness signals need attention — no signup required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are source maps and why are they dangerous?
Source maps (.map files) map minified JavaScript back to your original source code. In development, they enable debugging. In production, they let anyone read your business logic, API routes, internal comments, and potentially hardcoded secrets. SaaSalyst checks up to 5 JS bundles for publicly accessible .map files.
How do I disable source maps in production?
In Next.js: set productionBrowserSourceMaps: false in next.config.js (it's false by default). In Vite/CRA: set build.sourcemap to false in your config. Always verify by checking if [your-js-bundle].map URLs return 404 in production.
Are exposed source maps a common vulnerability?
Yes. Many build tools generate source maps by default, and deployment pipelines often don't strip them. Combined with AI coding assistants (40% higher secret exposure per GitGuardian), source maps can expose secrets that were accidentally included in your source code.
