The Dark Side of Vibe Coding: 3 Security Checks Every Founder Needs

Vibe coding (building apps rapidly with AI) is everywhere, but @rileybrown_ai warns about a growing security crisis. Here's your 2-minute security checklist:

1. The AWS Bucket Check 🪣

AI often generates default AWS configs. Before pushing:

• Run aws s3api list-buckets to spot exposed storage
• Check bucket policies with aws s3api get-bucket-policy
• Never use default credentials in generated code

2. The API Key Scan 🔑

As @snapolino notes, AI loves hardcoding secrets:

• Use gitleaks before commits
• Move all keys to environment variables
• Review ALL generated auth code manually

3. The Route Audit 🛡️

AI often creates debug routes and forgets security:

• Remove all /debug endpoints
• Check for unauthenticated admin routes
• Verify JWT validation on protected paths

How to run this with CodeBrain:

1. Open your Obsidian vault (privacy-first, synced to Drive)
2. Use Claude Code CLI: check-security-vibe-code /path/to/project
3. Let Rube MCP scan your codebase and AWS setup
4. Review findings in your vault's Security Dashboard

CodeBrain's privacy-first setup means your code never leaves your system during scans. Use @whisper scan security for voice-activated checks.
