How important is security when the world is vibe coding now?

The problem with vibe coding is simple. You can build something that looks finished before it is actually safe.

AI can create login systems, databases, payment flows, APIs and admin panels very quickly. But a working feature does not mean a secure feature.

The biggest risks are usually:

• API keys or passwords left in the code.

• Database rules that allow users to see other users’ data.

• Weak authentication and permissions.

• Admin functions exposed to normal users.

• AI-generated code using old or insecure packages.

• No limits on APIs, so someone can abuse them.

• Payment or webhook logic that trusts data coming from the browser.

• Developers deploying code they do not fully understand.
