I Built a Security Scanner for AI Apps — Then I Ran It on My Own Site

I built VibeSafe — a 24-check security scanner for apps made with AI coding tools (Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit).

The idea came from a pattern I kept seeing: AI tools produce code that works, but rarely code that’s secure. Hardcoded API keys, disabled Row Level Security, missing CSP headers, exposed .env files. Same issues, different apps.

Before writing a line of scanner code, I manually audited 5 real vibe-coded apps:

• 5/5 had at least one critical vulnerability
• 3/5 had exposed API keys in frontend JavaScript
• 4/5 had Row Level Security completely disabled
• 1/5 had their entire database publicly readable

Every founder was shocked. None of them knew.

The Dogfood Test

So I built the scanner — 24 checks across pre-launch source code and post-launch live URLs.

Then I ran it on my own site. The worst possible outcome:

Zero issues. Clean scan. Trust badge earned.

Not because I’m a security expert. Because I built the scanner to catch exactly what I knew AI tools get wrong — and I fixed each issue before shipping.

What the Scanner Checks (24 total)

Pre-launch (10 checks — source code):

• Exposed secrets, SQL injection, Supabase RLS, Firebase rules
• Hardcoded credentials, unprotected API routes, Stripe webhook verification
• Dependency CVE audit, DB config exposure

Post-launch (14 checks — live URL):

• SSL/TLS, security headers, exposed files, JS bundle secrets
• CORS, rate limiting, data breach check, source map exposure
• Cookie security, robots.txt analysis, subdomain discovery
• Supply chain / SBOM check, trust badge

Why I’m Posting This

I’m running a launch week. Everything is 40% off with code LAUNCH40:

Quick check for your own codebase:

grep -r "eyJ" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" .     finds JWT tokens
grep -r "api_key\|password\|secret" --include="*.js" .finds hardcoded creds
