Hardcoded API keys and PII leaks in client-side code go undetected
Developers routinely accidentally embed API keys, tokens, and personally identifiable information directly in browser-accessible code repositories. Standard CI/CD pipelines and code review often miss these leaks before deployment. A local, privacy-first scanner that identifies credential and PII exposures without transmitting code to external services addresses a high-severity security gap.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyAI-generated code ships with leaked keys and security misconfigurations in production
Sites built with AI coding assistants frequently go live with leaked API keys, dev-mode configurations, placeholder content, and missing security headers embedded in the browser bundle. As vibe-coding lowers the barrier to shipping, security review practices have not kept pace. Vibe Check was launched to scan for these issues in seconds, validating real demand for automated production security auditing.
AI-generated vibe-coded apps ship with live security holes
Applications built quickly with AI coding tools like Replit, Lovable, and Cursor often go to production with unaddressed access-control vulnerabilities, and their builders typically lack security expertise. High engagement (532 upvotes) suggests broad resonance, though it surfaces via a solution launch rather than direct user complaints.
AI coding agents leak secrets by pulling .env files into context
AI coding agents routinely read .env files, config, and command output into their context windows, silently exposing API keys and credentials to model providers. Existing secret scanning tools catch leaks after the fact in git history rather than preventing them from reaching the model in real time.
Marketing listing for a Web3 smart contract security scanner
This entry is promotional copy for an existing AI-branded security scanning product covering smart contracts, APIs, and dependencies, not a description of an unmet need.
AI browser agents ingest prompt injections and waste tokens on page noise
AI agents browsing the web process everything indiscriminately — cookie banners, hidden adversarial instructions, dark patterns — leaving them vulnerable to prompt injection and burning tokens on irrelevant content. There is no standard middleware layer to sanitize web content before it reaches the agent context. This creates both security and cost problems at scale.
