Vibe-coded app security scan

A vibe-coded app security scan should happen before the app leaves private testing. Scan the public URL for exposed files, missing browser protections, public source maps, leaked client-side secrets, permissive CORS, and data endpoints that respond without a session. Then manually review account, billing, and tenant rules.

What this scan should cover

One-hour pre-share scan

The minimum outside-in pass before posting the URL.

Fetch headers for the homepage and auth routes
Probe common exposed files and source maps
Search client bundles for secret-shaped strings
Request API routes from a clean logged-out session

Data exposure pass

Look for direct signs that private data is reachable.

Public storage object URLs
Supabase anon-key data responses
GraphQL introspection or row exposure
Admin or dashboard paths loading without login

Human review pass

The checks that need context and test accounts.

Can user A read user B data?
Can a free user unlock paid features?
Can a webhook or callback be forged?
Can a non-admin reach admin actions?

What a public scan cannot prove

It does not certify the app or replace professional review.
It does not know your intended business rules unless they are visible from the public surface.
It should be repeated after every major AI-generated change.

Direct answers

What is the fastest useful security scan for a vibe-coded app?

Scan the deployed public URL for headers, exposed files, source maps, CORS, cookies, client-side secrets, and unauthenticated data. That catches the launch blockers that are visible from outside.

Should I scan staging or production?

Scan whichever URL you plan to share. If staging and production have different domains, headers, or environment variables, scan both before launch.

What if I am not a security expert?

Use a public-surface scan to get evidence and severity first. Fix high and critical findings, then ask a developer or reviewer to inspect the authenticated logic the scan cannot prove.
