Vibe Coders Are Getting Sued. Here's The 11-Point Checklist That Keeps You Out Of Court.

The rest of the guide

4. Most AI-built auth breaks on the edges. Try: wrong password five times, a password reset for an email that doesn't exist, a verification link clicked twice, and a signup with an email that's already registered. This catches roughly 80% of auth bugs before your users do.
5. ```Review my app as a security specialist and make sure I have strong security headers and a solid baseline security posture.
6. This is where SQL injection, XSS, and auth bugs actually get caught. Paste the prompt, then fix what it flags.
7. Client-side validation is UX, not security. Attackers disable JavaScript and hit your API directly. Re-validate every input on the server, no exceptions.
8. AI-generated code tends to leak in three places: secret values exposed in the frontend, API responses returning more data than they should, and secrets printed into logs. Run the prompt below and fix each hit.
9. If a key is in the browser, assume it's already taken. People scan for these constantly. The fix, in order: (1) have your AI scan your code for exposed keys, (2) rotate every one it finds at the provider so the leaked key is dead, (3) move the key into a server-side environment variable (e.g. Vercel project settings), never the frontend, and (4) keep the master copy in a password manager like 1Password to share with your team. Rotating is the step people skip - storing it isn't enough, because the old key is already compromised.
10. Cap every endpoint that hits a paid API. Without limits, one bad actor can run a Supabase or OpenAI bill from $20 to thousands in a single day.
11. Add a CAPTCHA to public forms (Cloudflare Turnstile is free) and lock CORS to your own domain. Ten minutes, and it kills bot floods and form spam.
12. Show users generic messages like 'User not found', never the raw error like a failed SQL query. Log the full error server-side where only you can see it.BUILD FAST.
