Vibe coders are getting sued: a pre-launch security checklist from 60+ shipped MVPs

The author argues vibe coders are starting to get sued for skipping security basics, and shares a pre-launch checklist distilled from helping ship 60+ MVPs at an agency:
- Protect yourself, not just your app: publish an accurate privacy notice and know what user data you collect, where it lives, and who receives it.
- Review database grants and Row Level Security together: e.g. in Supabase, open Database > Policies and test with an anonymous session plus two separate users.
- Test the failure path, not just the happy path: wrong passwords, unknown-email resets, reused verification links, duplicate signups.
- Run a security baseline review: ask your agent to map trust boundaries, public routes, sensitive data, privileged components, and irreversible actions before suggesting fixes.
- Review against OWASP (thread truncated).
The linked article also cites OpenAI's internal cybersecurity evaluation where its agents bypassed controls in July — a warning for anyone shipping software with agents.
