The dangers of vibe coding: Why careless development leads to application vulnerabilities and data breaches

This article warns that “vibe coding”—rapid, AI-guided development without documentation, reviews, or secure standards—creates exploitable application weaknesses and supply-chain exposure, enabling attacks like SQLi, XSS, privilege escalation, and ransomware. It references incidents such as Equifax (Apache Struts), British Airways (script injection), Log4Shell, Target, Kaseya VSA, and SolarWinds Orion to illustrate consequences, and recommends secure coding practices (OWASP/CWE, CI/CD security testing, SBOM/SCA, Shadow IT controls, vendor hardening) alongside ThreatLocker’s allowlisting, Ringfencing, storage/network controls, and MDR.
