Your vibe-coded app is probably leaking.
AI coding tools ship features at a terrifying pace — and they ship vulnerabilities just as fast. Here's what's actually broken in the apps you're building, and how to fix it before someone else finds it first.

// The problem
The fastest way to build is the fastest way to get breached.
Vibe coding — building software by prompting AI — has put production apps in the hands of people who don't write code. That's a beautiful thing. It's also producing the next decade of data breaches: misconfigured databases, leaked keys, broken auth, and zero visibility into what's actually deployed.
The models don't know your threat model. They optimize for "works on my preview." Attackers optimize for everything else.
// Top risks
Six failures we find every week.
Hardcoded secrets
API keys, JWT secrets, and service-role tokens pasted into client bundles or committed to repos.
Missing access controls
Databases generated without row-level security — every authenticated user can read every row.
Prompt-suggested vulns
Models happily reproduce SQL injection, IDOR, and XSS patterns from their training data.
Broken auth flows
Client-side admin checks, role flags in localStorage, password resets that don't expire.
Over-privileged integrations
Connectors and webhooks wired with admin scopes when read-only would have done the job.
No observability
No logs, no rate limits, no alerts. The first sign of a breach is the bill.
// Quick wins
Six things to do before you ship.
These won't cover every risk in your stack, but they will close 80% of the doors attackers walk through first.
Treat AI output like a junior PR
Review it. Test it. Never merge it because it 'looked right'.
Pin auth to the server
Roles in a separate table, checked server-side. Never trust the client.
Lock down your database
RLS on every table from day one. Default-deny, then open by policy.
Move secrets out of code
Use a vault or your platform's secret store. Rotate anything that's ever been committed.
Validate every input
Zod or equivalent on every server function. Length, type, and shape — every time.
Get a human in the loop
Have an engineer who knows what attackers look like review the codebase before launch.
