Vibe coding security debt / AI-generated CVE surge (Verge/HN mention + fresh June 18-22 analyses from Superblocks, CSA, etc.).

“You vibed an app in an afternoon. Hackers didn’t need to vibe to break it.”

Why It Matters

Internet culture of vague prompts + citizen builders shipping broken software at speed changes work, security institutions, and accountability. Concrete outcome: new class of easily exposable apps.

Evidence

Non-technical “vibe it” prompting produces functional-but-insecure apps at scale; studies show 40-62% vulnerable code, 35+ AI-attributed CVEs in one recent month, real breaches (e.g., exposed tokens/PII in production apps from tools like Claude Code). Concrete examples and rising trend data.
