What Is a Vibe Coding Audit?
A vibe coding audit is a structured, expert review of an application that was built — fully or partly — using AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or GitHub Copilot. It examines security, architecture, reliability, and production-readiness with specific knowledge of how AI-generated code fails.
Why Vibe-Coded Apps Need Their Own Audit
AI coding tools generate working code fast. What they don't do is understand your business logic, threat model, or compliance requirements. They produce plausible-looking code that often has subtle authentication bypasses, SQL injection vectors, broken payment logic, or hardcoded secrets. A standard linter or security scanner doesn't catch these because the code looks syntactically correct — only a human expert reading it in context will find them. A vibe coding audit is that expert review.
What a Vibe Coding Audit Covers
A thorough vibe coding audit covers: authentication and authorization flows (login, session management, role-based access), data handling and database queries (injection, exposure, integrity), payment and billing logic (Stripe webhooks, idempotency, race conditions), API endpoint security (missing auth, over-permissive CORS, rate limiting), secrets and credentials management (hardcoded API keys, leaked tokens), third-party integrations (OAuth flows, webhook signature validation), AI-specific risks in LLM apps (prompt injection, data leakage, unbounded token spend), infrastructure and deployment configuration, and error handling that leaks internal state.
What You Get at the End
A vibe coding audit delivers a prioritized report of every finding — severity-ranked, with exact file locations, explanation of the exploit path, and a recommended fix. Most audits also include a fix session where the auditor patches the critical issues directly. The goal is a production-ready app you can confidently put in front of paying customers or enterprise procurement.
Who Needs One
Any founder, startup, or team that used AI tools to build most or all of an application should get a code audit before: launching to paying customers, onboarding enterprise clients (who will ask about security), raising a funding round where investors run technical due diligence, integrating with regulated data (payments, health records, legal documents), or deploying a feature that handles sensitive user data. The cost of a code audit is a fraction of one data breach, one refund dispute, or one failed enterprise deal.
How Long It Takes
Most vibe coding audits for startups and SaaS apps take 3–7 business days depending on codebase size. We start within the same week you book. Urgent pre-launch audits are available on request.
