Need Help Fixing or Securing
Your Vibe-Coded App?
You built it on Lovable, Bolt.new or Replit. It works. It has paying customers. It also has security holes, performance problems, and bits that quietly do not work. We audit, secure, fix and improve the parts AI got wrong, so you can keep shipping with a clear head.

TO STOP THE BLEEDING
Vibe-coding the front is fine. The back is where it bites.
AI coding tools are excellent at the bit users see. Buttons, layouts, copy, animations. The back half is also vibe-codeable, but without someone who understands what good looks like, it ships with the boundaries missing and shortcuts everywhere else.
Auth, permissions, payments, data integrity, secrets, rate limits. Then the next layer: error handling that just swallows things, queries that don't scale, features the AI half-finished, costs nobody is watching. The app runs, and "runs" looks the same as "is safe and ready to grow" until it isn't.
If your app handles money, accounts, files, or anything a customer would notice when it broke, you want a human looking at the back half.
WHAT THE AI GAVE YOU
- Public database with one anon key
- API keys in the JavaScript bundle
- Admin pages "hidden" by a route
- Errors swallowed, users see blank pages
- Slow queries, no caching, no indexes
- Half-finished features nobody flagged
WHAT IT NEEDS
- Row-level rules per user, per table
- Secrets on the server, rotated
- Role checks enforced server-side
- Errors caught, logged and paged
- Queries that scale past 100 users
- The half-built features actually finished
Five ways a vibe-coded app bites you first.
We have audited apps from Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit Agent, v0 and Cursor. The dangerous bits are almost identical every time. Performance, reliability and the half-finished features come right after.
Open database
Supabase Row Level Security off, or a single policy reading true. Anyone with the public key reads, edits and deletes every row.
Secrets in the bundle
Stripe, OpenAI, service-role keys baked into the JavaScript anyone can view-source. One curl away from drained accounts.
Auth in the browser
Admin checks done in client-side React. Change one variable in dev tools and you're staff. Endpoints never verify "is this your record".
Payments on trust
Stripe and PayPal webhooks with no signature check. Anyone can POST "they paid" and the app believes them. Refunds, never reconciled.
No limits, no eyes
Zero rate limits on login, password reset, and the LLM endpoint. One overnight botnet, four-figure OpenAI bill and no logs to work out what happened.
Where we come in.
Triage first, then fix, then improve. We stop the bleeding inside 48 hours, rebuild the parts that need a real developer, and finish the bits the AI half-built.
You keep the app you built. We keep the AI editor working alongside us, so you can carry on shipping after we leave.
BOOK A TRIAGE CALLTriage (24 to 48 hours)
We get read access to your repo and Supabase. You get a one-page report: what is exposed today, what is slow or broken, what is half-finished, and how worried you should be about each. Fixed price, no slides.
Stop the bleeding
Rotate every leaked key. Turn RLS on with policies that actually match your roles. Sign your webhooks. Move admin work behind a real server. Add basic rate limits and error reporting. Days, not weeks.
Rebuild and finish what matters
Auth, payments, file storage, the LLM endpoint, the slow queries, the half-built features, the error paths the AI never wrote. Rewritten properly, tested, deployed somewhere you can monitor. The UI stays. The rest gets a backbone.
Hand back something you can grow
Backups running, alerts wired to your phone, an audit log you can search, a written list of what is safe to keep vibe-coding and what is not. Optional retainer if you want us shipping the next set of features alongside you.
It already happened. Several times.
Three publicly reported incidents from the last year. All three were apps built on the same tools, the same way founders are building today.
170 Lovable apps, one scan.
Researcher Matt Palmer pulled 1,645 Lovable apps. 170 (10.3%) leaked data: names, emails, phone numbers, home addresses, debt figures, API keys. CVSS 9.3, on NVD.
Every project before Nov 2025.
@weezerOSINT showed any free-tier Lovable account could read older projects' source, database creds and customer data. Accounts from staff at Nvidia, Microsoft, Uber and Spotify were in scope. Lovable sat on it for 48 days.
18,697 student records.
Researcher Taimur Khan found a featured Lovable education app with 100,000 plus views had leaked 4,538 university student accounts from UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Sixteen vulnerabilities, six critical, in one codebase.

The ones we get asked first.
Do I have to throw the whole thing away?
Almost never. The UI is usually fine, often genuinely good. It's the back half that needs rewriting. We keep what works, replace what doesn't, and you carry on shipping.
Can I keep using Lovable / Bolt / Replit after?
Yes. We leave the editor in place for the parts it's good at: layouts, marketing pages, copy changes, new screens. We give you a written list of which parts are safe to vibe-code and which need a developer.
How fast can you start?
Triage on a same-week turnaround if it's live and serving customers. Stop-the-bleeding work usually starts within days of the report. Full rebuild scoped from there.
What do you actually need from me?
Read access to your repo, Supabase or Firebase, Stripe, and any hosting (Vercel, Netlify, Replit). That's it. We don't need a tech co-founder to translate. You can hand it to us non-technical and walk away.
It's not just security. Stuff is slow, buggy, half-finished.
Same engagement. Triage flags it, the rebuild fixes it. Slow queries get indexed or rewritten, errors get caught and logged, the half-finished feature gets finished. Security comes first because the cost of getting it wrong is highest, but we don't leave the rest broken.
How much does it cost?
Triage is fixed-fee, in the low thousands. Stop-the-bleeding sprint is priced per finding. Full rebuilds are scoped against the report, fixed price per phase. We tell you the number before we touch a line of code.
What if I've already been hit?
Call us first, not last. We work the incident: rotate, lock, scope what was taken, draft the customer notice, then fix the cause. We have done this. You don't want to be doing it on your own at 11pm.
Get it secured, fixed and growing.
Send us the URL. We will tell you, on a 30-minute call, what is exposed today, what is slow or broken, what would actually help your customers next, and what it would cost to put right. No slides, no scare tactics, no obligation.
