Question 1

How secure is my vibe-coded app?

Accepted Answer

60% of AI-generated apps fail basic security tests (Escape.tech, 5,600 apps scanned). Common issues include hardcoded secrets, missing authentication, no input validation, and open CORS policies. Take the free security assessment quiz to check your specific app.

Question 2

What are the most common vibe coding security vulnerabilities?

Accepted Answer

The top vulnerabilities are: hardcoded API keys and secrets (45% of repos), missing server-side authentication, no Row Level Security on databases, absent input validation, unpinned dependencies vulnerable to supply chain attacks, no rate limiting, missing security headers, verbose error messages, and open CORS policies.

Question 3

How much does a vibe coding security audit cost?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise penetration testing costs $5,000-$15,000+. Specialized vibe coding security audits from notelon.ai start at $99 for a Pro audit with 50+ checks, prioritized findings, and AI-ready fix prompts. Enterprise audits with compliance documentation are $299. Traditional security agencies charge $2,000-$5,000 for similar scope.

Question 4

Is AI-generated code safe to deploy to production?

Accepted Answer

Not without review. 67% of AI-generated repos contain critical vulnerabilities (ShipSafe, 2026). Georgia Tech found 35 CVEs in March 2026 alone from AI-generated code. The UK NCSC CEO called vibe coding risks 'intolerable' at RSA Conference 2026. Always run a security review before deploying AI-generated code to production.

Is Your Vibe-Coded App Secure?

Does your app have API keys, database URLs, or secrets in your source code (not just .env files)?

Does your app check user permissions only on the frontend (client-side)?

If you use Supabase, do you have Row Level Security (RLS) policies on all tables?

Does your app validate and sanitize all user inputs on the server side?

Are your package dependencies pinned to exact versions (not using ^ or ~ ranges)?

Do your API endpoints have rate limiting?

Does your app set security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)?

Do your error messages show stack traces, file paths, or database details to users?

Does your API accept requests from any origin (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *)?

Did you have any human or external tool review the security of your AI-generated code?
