Your AI-Built App, Checked Before Real Users Find the Problems

A fixed-scope Ship-Ready Audit for apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit Agent, v0, Cursor or Claude Code. Five business days, a severity-ranked written report, and a walkthrough with the engineer who did the review.

Duration: 5 business days Team: 1-2 Senior Engineers, reviewed by the Principal Architect

The Challenge

You might be experiencing...

The app works in the demo, but nobody has checked whether one user can read another user's data

API keys, database credentials or LLM keys may be sitting in the client bundle or the git history

Supabase or Firebase rules were set to "allow all" to get the prototype working, and never changed back

One viral day or one abusive user could run up an LLM bill you can't pay

A customer, investor or app store review is coming, and nobody on the team can explain the whole codebase

AI app builders and coding agents are very good at producing an app that works when you click through it. They are much less reliable at the parts you can’t see in a demo: who can read which rows in the database, where the keys live, what happens when someone sends a thousand requests a minute. A vibe code audit checks exactly those parts.

Why AI-built apps need a different kind of review

The problems in AI-built apps are predictable. Public scans of vibe-coded apps in 2026 reported thousands of vulnerabilities and hundreds of exposed secrets, and one of the most widely reported leaks came down to a database key shipped in client-side code with row-level security switched off. None of that is exotic. It’s the same short list of mistakes, repeated, because the tools optimise for “it works” rather than “it’s safe”.

That’s why this is a fixed-scope review instead of an open-ended consulting project. We know where to look, so we can give you a clear answer in five business days.

What you get

A Ship-Ready Audit report: every finding with its severity, the evidence and the fix.
A fix-now list of what blocks launch, a customer deal or a funding round.
A 30-minute walkthrough with the engineer who did the review.
The option of a Rescue Sprint: the same team fixes everything in the report, for a fixed scope.

Who it’s for

Solo founders and small teams whose product was built mostly with Lovable, Bolt, Replit Agent, v0, Cursor or Claude Code, and who now have real users, a security questionnaire, an app store submission or an investor meeting coming up. If you want to start on your own, our vibe code audit checklist covers the checks you can run in an afternoon.

Our Approach

Engagement Phases

Day 1

Intake & Access

Short intake form, then read-only access to the repository, a staging or production URL, and the hosting and database dashboards. We agree what the app does, who uses it and what data it touches.

Day 2-3

Code & Configuration Review

Secrets in code, bundles and history; authentication and authorization on every endpoint; database rules and row-level security; payment webhooks; dependency and licence issues; LLM key handling, prompt injection exposure on agent features, rate limits and spend caps.

Day 4

Running-App Checks

Targeted checks against the live or staging app: cross-user data access, over-exposed API responses, missing rate limits, error leaks, backup and rollback readiness, and basic performance under load.

Day 5

Report & Walkthrough

A written report with every finding ranked by severity, the evidence, and the fix. A 30-minute walkthrough call to agree what to fix now, what can wait, and whether you want us to do the fixes in a fixed-scope Rescue Sprint.

What You Get

Deliverables

Severity-ranked findings report with evidence and a concrete fix for each issue

Fix-now list: the issues that block launch, a customer deal or a raise

Secrets and data-access review covering code, client bundles, git history and database rules

LLM cost and abuse review: key handling, rate limits, spend caps and caching opportunities

Production readiness checklist: backups, monitoring, CI/CD, rollback

30-minute walkthrough call with the reviewing engineer

Optional fixed-scope Rescue Sprint proposal to fix everything in the report

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vibe code audit?

A vibe code audit is a production-readiness and security review of an app built mostly by AI tools such as Lovable, Bolt, Replit Agent, v0, Cursor or Claude Code. It checks the things those tools commonly get wrong: exposed secrets, missing authorization, permissive database rules, unprotected LLM keys, missing rate limits and fragile deployments. You get a ranked list of what to fix before real users, customers or investors find it.

How long does the audit take, and what do you need from us?

Five business days from the day we get access. We need read-only access to the repository, a staging or production URL with a test account, and read access to your hosting and database dashboards. A short intake form at the start tells us what the app does and what data it handles.

Is a vibe code audit the same as a penetration test?

No. The audit combines a code and configuration review with targeted checks on the running app, which catches most of the problems AI-built apps typically ship with. A full penetration test goes deeper on the running system and is the right choice if you handle payments, health data or regulated personal data, or a customer contract requires one. Our sister site pentest.ae runs those.

Can you fix the problems you find?

Yes. After the walkthrough we can quote a fixed-scope Rescue Sprint to fix everything in the report, typically one to three weeks depending on what we find. You can also take the report to your own team or contractors; each finding includes the evidence and the fix.

Which tools and stacks do you review?

Apps from Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit Agent and v0, and codebases written with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or Copilot. Common stacks include Next.js, React, React Native and Flutter on the front end, and Supabase, Firebase, Postgres, Node.js and Python on the back end.

How do we get a price?

Send the short request form with your stack and what the app does. The audit is a fixed fee for a fixed scope, and we reply with the price and a start date within one business day.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before we get access. Access is read-only where possible, and we revoke our own credentials and delete local copies of your code when the engagement ends.
