Vibe coding security audit for AI-built apps

Building by prompting an AI and accepting what looks right produces working apps fast — and a predictable set of blind spots. Language models implement the visible feature and the happy path, and tend to omit the controls that only matter when someone misuses the app.

The gaps are consistent across Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0 and Replit: authorization in the UI instead of the server, secrets in the client, ID-based routes without ownership checks, and missing rate limits. GoForLaunch audits your AI-built code for these exact patterns.

Features

What you get

Cross-tool coverage

Reviews output from Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, Replit and hand-prompted code for the same recurring security gaps.

Authorization and IDOR checks

Finds access control that lives only in the frontend and ID-based routes that don't scope to the authenticated owner.

Secrets and rate limits

Flags secrets that leak to the client and public or AI-backed endpoints with no rate limiting or usage ceiling.

Payments, logging and error handling

Checks webhook verification and idempotency, over-logging of sensitive data, and errors that leak internals to users.

FAQ

Which AI tools does the audit support?

It works with apps built using Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0 and Replit, as well as hand-prompted code, because they share the same recurring gaps: client-side auth, exposed secrets, unsafe routes and missing rate limits.

Is vibe-coded code inherently insecure?

No. The output is usually fine for a demo and becomes risky when it reaches production unreviewed. The audit helps you review the security-relevant parts before launch so you keep the speed without the blind spots.

What should I fix first?

Server-side authorization, exposed secrets, and ID-based routes (IDOR) account for a large share of real, exploitable issues. The audit ranks findings so the launch blockers come first.
