Vibe coding security scanner

A vibe coding security scanner should test the deployed app like an outside visitor before launch. Start with non-destructive public-surface checks: security headers, source maps, exposed files, client-side secret strings, CORS, cookies, and anonymous API responses. Then use source-code or account-aware review for authorization, tenant isolation, payments, and business logic.

What this scan should cover

Runtime surface

Non-destructive checks a scanner can run against the deployed URL.

Security headers, HTTPS, and frame protections
Public source maps, debug files, and deployment metadata
Secret-shaped strings in HTML, JavaScript, and network responses
CORS, cookies, cache controls, and logged-out API responses

Context-aware follow-up

Checks that need repo access, test accounts, or business rules.

Authorization on admin and user-specific endpoints
Tenant isolation between two real accounts
Payment amount and subscription entitlement enforcement
Webhook signature verification and replay protection

Scan quality

Signals that make findings useful to a builder using Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, or another AI tool.

Affected URL and exact response evidence
Severity tied to launch risk
Plain-English fix guidance
A retest step that proves the finding closed

> where vibecodeguard fits

Public-surface evidence before launch.

VibeCodeGuard is a public-surface vibe coding security scanner: paste the staging or production URL, get ranked evidence, fix high-risk exposure, and rerun before the link gets attention.

What a public scan cannot prove

It is not a full penetration test and does not claim exploit coverage for every route.
It cannot prove account-specific authorization without test accounts or code context.
It should be paired with source-code review for payment logic, tenant rules, and privileged workflows.

Direct answers

What is a vibe coding security scanner?

It is a scanner focused on apps built quickly with AI coding tools. A practical scanner checks the live URL for exposed files, source maps, leaked client-side secrets, missing security headers, CORS issues, weak cookies, and unauthenticated data responses.

Should I scan the deployed URL or the source code?

Do both when the app handles real users or payments. Start with the deployed URL because it catches public launch blockers immediately. Use source-code or account-aware review for authorization, tenant isolation, payment logic, and business rules.

Can a scanner prove my vibe-coded app is secure?

No. A scanner can prove specific public findings are present or absent. It cannot prove all business logic is correct. Treat a clean public scan as one launch signal, then review authenticated workflows separately.
