AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, Bolt, and Lovable can build a full app in a weekend. They can't tell you that 91% of vibe-coded apps ship with at least one exploitable vulnerability — or that you won't find out until a hacker does.
Cursor, Copilot, and Bolt optimize for output that runs. They don't have context on your data model, your user base, or the regulatory environment you're operating in. They confidently generate authentication flows with subtle flaws, database queries that are wide open to injection, and API integrations that quietly leak credentials into your version history. A 2026 assessment of 200+ vibe-coded applications found that 58% contained exposed credentials and 34% had exploitable SQL injection — the vast majority pushed by developers who had no idea.
When something goes wrong, the consequences aren't abstract. The average data breach costs a small company $1–3 million in cleanup, notification, and legal fees. GDPR fines can reach €20 million or 4% of global revenue. CCPA violations run up to $7,500 per intentional breach. And none of that accounts for what happens to your reputation when users find out their data was exposed — or when App Store reviews, Reddit threads, and tech press start doing the work for the hackers.
You don't have to be a security expert to ship a secure product. You just need someone who is.
Fixed-scope engagements sized for founders and small teams — not enterprise procurement cycles.
AI tools write plausible code, not necessarily secure code. A scan runs your codebase through OWASP Top 10 checks, secrets detection, and misconfiguration analysis — showing you exactly what's exposed before someone else finds it first.
Book a scan →You don't know what you don't know. On-demand consulting puts a security engineer directly in your workflow — reviewing the code your AI assistant generated, catching the patterns it keeps getting wrong, and making sure your auth, APIs, and data handling don't have a trapdoor.
Engage a consultant →Got a scan report full of findings you can't parse? We remove the false positives and hand you a prioritized remediation list written for a developer — not a compliance officer. Know exactly what to fix, in what order, and why it matters for your app specifically.
Request a review →Before you launch, fundraise, or bring on enterprise customers — get a full architectural review. Threat modeling, data flow analysis, and a complete picture of where your app breaks under attack. The kind of report investors and enterprise buyers now ask for by name.
Schedule an assessment →You built with AI — now let's audit what it actually created. Prompt injection, model abuse, data leakage, insecure API chaining: AI-native apps have a whole new attack surface that traditional scanners miss entirely. We built this review for exactly that.
Test your AI stack →Stay ahead of the exploits targeting your exact stack. If a new attack is hitting Supabase-backed apps, Next.js APIs, or Stripe webhook integrations — you'll know about it before you become the case study other founders read about.
Subscribe →These aren't hypotheticals. They're the breach patterns showing up in vibe-coded apps right now.
Cursor helped you wire up OpenAI, Stripe, and your database in an afternoon — and put the credentials directly in your source files. You pushed to GitHub. Bots scan public repos continuously, and even after you delete the file, the keys live in your commit history forever. One scraped credential and your Stripe account is drained, your database is copied, or your cloud bill spikes to $50,000 overnight.
Your app collects emails, usage data, maybe payment info. A misconfigured database — the kind AI scaffolding generates by default — leaves it accessible to anyone who knows where to look. One researcher finds it, posts publicly, and you're now legally required to notify every affected user. GDPR fines reach €20 million or 4% of global revenue. CCPA adds $7,500 per intentional violation. Legal fees alone can finish a company that was otherwise doing fine.
AI-generated authentication flows look right but often aren't. Sessions get validated client-side. Role checks get skipped on certain routes. An attacker finds an IDOR — they change one number in a URL and they're inside a different user's account. For a fintech or SaaS app, this isn't just embarrassing. It's the kind of incident that ends up in lawsuit filings, regulatory investigations, and refund demands you can't afford.
You post on X, hit the front page of Product Hunt, and start onboarding real users. Somewhere in the first 200 sign-ups is someone who pastes a SQL injection string into your search field. Your AI-generated query didn't sanitize the input. Your database returns data it shouldn't — or crashes entirely. You spend launch day doing emergency triage. One real incident in early 2026 exposed 1.5 million authentication tokens within 72 hours of a vibe-coded app going live.
Most vibe-coded apps are one request away from a breach. We find the holes before the hackers do — in days, not months, and without the enterprise sales process.
