VibeAudit

A plain-English security audit service for non-technical founders and small business owners who hired freelancers or vibe-coded their app — paste your code, repo link, or live URL and get a 'what a hacker could do to you' report with questions to ask your developer.

Target user

Non-technical founders and small business owners shipping their first app with AI tools or cheap freelancers, with no idea what 'SQL injection' means

Features
  • Three-input intake: paste code, drop a GitHub repo, or enter a live URL — produces the same human-readable report
  • Plain-English severity ratings ('A hacker could read every customer's email with one keystroke') with no jargon
  • Suggested fix scripts written for your developer in their language/framework, plus a one-page summary you can show co-founders or investors
  • Continuous monitoring tier that re-scans on every deploy and emails you when new AI-generated vulnerabilities appear
Why now

The Dev.to trend shows AI assistants keep writing the same hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, missing auth, and permissive CORS patterns — every non-technical founder shipping a vibe-coded app is one push away from being in the news.

Demand
8/10

Multiple 2026 sources confirm surge: Forbes, 47% of AI code has vulns, credential theft up 160%, Wiz found 400 exposed secrets in 5,600 vibe-coded apps, VibeArmor reports 60% of AI-built apps ship with exposed keys.Vibe Coding Has A Massive Security Problem - ForbesVibe Coding Security Risks: What Founders Miss Before LaunchVibe Coding Security Checklist: 7 Steps Before You Ship

Whitespace
3/10

Three direct competitors already exist with nearly identical positioning and ICP: VibeArmor (paste URL → grade + Cursor fixes), VibeEval (CVE-grade findings), and DidYouVibeCheck (plain-English findings from GitHub). The category is already crowded.VibeArmor — AI Security Scanner for Vibe-Coded AppsVibeEval — AI Security Testing for AI-Generated AppsVibe Check: AI security scanner for AI-built apps

Monetization
5/10

Validated price gap vs traditional pentest ($5K–$30K) with VibeArmor pricing from $99; ScienceSoft confirms secure code review for small SaaS from $8K. However, three competitors racing on price will compress margins; founders' willingness-to-pay for 'plain English questions for my dev' is unproven.Cybersecurity Services Cost Calculator | ScienceSoftVibeArmor — AI Security Scanner for Vibe-Coded Apps

Longevity
7/10

Vibe-coding is accelerating and security incidents keep making news, sustaining category demand. Risk: IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code) are themselves shipping auto-security fixes, which could shrink the standalone scanner market over 2–3 years.AI Security Tools for Vibe-Coded SaaS Apps: The 20 Picks for 2026

Feasibility
6/10

Buildable MVP in days by wrapping open-source scanners (Semgrep, Nuclei, ZAP) with an LLM that translates findings into plain English and generates fix prompts. A basic version is very feasible; matching VibeArmor's claimed 100% XBOW benchmark is not.VibeArmor — AI Security Scanner for Vibe-Coded Apps
