Is Your Vibe-Coded App Actually Secure? Take This 2-Minute Quiz to Find Out

You built an app with AI. It works. It looks good. Users are signing up.

But here's the question nobody asks until it's too late: is it secure?

I analyzed data from 5,600+ vibe-coded applications (Escape.tech), 100 AI-generated repos (ShipSafe), and Georgia Tech's CVE tracking across 50 AI coding tools. The numbers are brutal:

• 60% of vibe-coded apps fail basic security checks
• 67% have critical vulnerabilities
• 35 new CVEs were logged in March 2026 alone from AI-generated code
• 45% contain hardcoded secrets

Most founders don't find out until a user reports a breach. Or worse, until they don't.

The Problem With Static Checklists

There are good security checklists out there (Aikido, CSA, Fingerprint). But checklists have a problem: they assume you know what to look for. If you're a non-technical founder using Lovable or Bolt.new, a 47-item checklist is noise.

What you actually need is someone to ask you 10 specific questions and tell you your risk level.

So I Built One

Take the free security assessment -- 10 questions, 2 minutes, no signup required.

It covers the risks that actually kill vibe-coded apps:

1. Secrets Management -- Are your API keys in environment variables or hardcoded in source?
2. Authentication -- Server-side or client-only? (63% of Lovable users are non-developers. Most get this wrong.)
3. Database Security -- Row Level Security enabled? Or is every row readable by every user?
4. Input Validation -- Are you sanitizing user input, or trusting whatever comes in?
5. Supply Chain -- Pinned dependency versions? After litellm (97M downloads) got supply chain attacked on March 24, this isn't theoretical.
6. API Security -- Rate limiting? CORS configuration? Or wide open?
7. Security Headers -- Tenzai found 0 out of 15 recommended headers on vibe-coded apps.
8. Information Disclosure -- Verbose error messages showing stack traces to users?
9. Code Review -- Have you reviewed the AI-generated code, or shipped it as-is?

Each question is weighted by real-world impact. You get a letter grade (A through F) and specific findings with copy-paste AI fix prompts you can drop straight into your coding tool.

What the Grades Mean

• A (90-100): You're ahead of 95% of vibe-coded apps. Keep it up.
• B (80-89): Solid. A few gaps to close before you scale.
• C (70-79): Functional but exposed. One bad actor away from a bad day.
• D (60-69): Multiple critical gaps. Fix these before your next deploy.
• F (<60): Your app is a target. Stop shipping features and fix security first.

Most vibe-coded apps score D or F. That's not a judgment. That's the data.

Why This Matters Right Now

Three things happened in the last week:

1. TeamPCP supply chain attack compromised litellm (97M monthly downloads) AND telnyx (742K downloads). Credential harvesting + ransomware partnership confirmed.
2. UK NCSC CEO keynoted RSA Conference calling vibe coding risks "intolerable."
3. Palo Alto Networks ($100B+) acquired Koi Security specifically for AI agent security.

The window between "nobody's targeting vibe-coded apps" and "everyone is" is closing fast.

What To Do With Your Results

If you scored A or B: run the free scanner to double-check against live vulnerability patterns.

If you scored C or below: you have options.

1. DIY -- Use the AI fix prompts from your results. Paste them into Cursor/Lovable/Bolt.new. Rescan.
2. Free scan -- VibeCheck analyzes your deployed app for common vibe coding vulnerabilities.
3. Professional audit -- If you have paying users or sensitive data, a $99 security audit covers 50+ checks with a full report. That's 25x cheaper than the enterprise alternative ($2,500+).

Optional: enter your email on the results page to get a formatted report with all your findings, fix prompts, and priority recommendations. No spam. Just the report.
