Vibe Coding Security

A Practical Guide to Auditing and Securing AI-Generated Code

Miles Draper

You shipped fast with AI assistance, and now you're not sure what's actually running in production. Vibe coding gets you to launch quickly, but it quietly accumulates security debt that standard code reviews never catch. Miles Draper wrote this book for developers and technical founders who want to keep moving fast without leaving the back door open. You'll learn how to run a first security audit on AI-generated code, prompt your assistant for safer output from the start, handle authentication and authorization properly, and manage secrets and dependencies without guesswork. There's also a full chapter of case studies showing vulnerable apps turned secure, plus a playbook you can apply on your next project. By the last page, you'll have a repeatable workflow for auditing, fixing, and shipping AI-generated code with confidence. If you're tired of hoping your code is safe, this book shows you how to know.
