Vibe coding is a double-edged sword.

In the wrong hands, it’s a security nightmare. In the right hands, it’s a powerful security assistant.

Previously, I shared two articles on the security red flags of vibe coding.

One highlighted how AI-generated code can introduce security risks like hardcoded secrets, so it’s crucial to set security rules for your AI and always review its output.

The other explained how vibe coding can lead to security vulnerabilities like exposed API keys, which can be mitigated by using environment variables for secrets and adding .env files to .gitignore.

Today, I decided to test if Claude Code could detect issues in code without any context.

I just gave it a simple prompt: “Analyze this project and suggest anything that you thought might be a bug”.

The result was impressive. Claude Code detected 3 critical security issues and 11 other bugs.

Ironically, it had created some of those bugs itself.

This makes me wonder if we should set up an agentic workflow with a reflective pattern to improve vibe coding quality.

What are your thoughts?
