Why AI-Generated (Vibe-Coded) Apps Get Hacked
AI coding tools optimize for "it works", not "it is secure". Vibe-coded apps ship fast and ship the same insecure patterns over and over: hardcoded secrets because the model needed something to make the demo run, missing authorization because the prompt never mentioned it, no rate limiting, no input validation, and copy-pasted dependencies with known CVEs. If a human did not threat-model it, the vulnerabilities are usually still there. We scan exactly what AI-generated code tends to leave open.
Common AI-Generated (Vibe-Coded) Vulnerabilities
Hardcoded secrets
AI assistants frequently inline API keys, tokens, and database URLs to make code run immediately — and they ship straight to the client or git.
Missing authorization
Generated CRUD endpoints often authenticate but never check ownership, producing IDOR/BOLA across every resource by default.
No input validation
Prompts rarely ask for validation, so user input flows into queries and templates unchecked — injection, XSS, and SSTI follow.
Prompt-injection in LLM features
Apps that feed user input into their own LLM calls without guarding can be steered to leak data, keys, or system prompts.
Insecure defaults & stale deps
Missing security headers, permissive CORS, no rate limiting, and copy-pasted packages with known CVEs are all common in generated stacks.
What the Sable Scan Checks
Exposed secrets & API keys
We scan your client-side bundles and responses for leaked API keys, tokens, database URLs, and 100+ secret patterns that ship to the browser by accident.
Security headers & TLS
HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and TLS protocol/cipher configuration — graded A-F with copy-paste fixes.
CORS & access control
Overly permissive CORS, wildcard origins with credentials, and broken object-level authorization (IDOR/BOLA) where one user can reach another user's data.
Injection & API surface
SQL/NoSQL injection, exposed OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL introspection, mass assignment, missing rate limits, and excessive data exposure.
OWASP Top 10 coverage
Autonomous pentesting agents test against the full OWASP Top 10 2025, validate each finding with a proof-of-concept, and re-test after you fix.
Validated findings, not noise
Every reported issue is confirmed by an agent before it reaches you — so you get real, exploitable findings with severity and remediation, not scanner spam.
