Security Intelligence · Vibe-Coded Apps
Most vibe-coded apps carry hardcoded API keys, tokens, and credentials baked straight into their AI-generated bundles. Most founders never know — until something breaks.
If you shipped fast and now need to find exposed secrets inside AI bundles, you are not alone, and you are not behind. Most vibe-coded apps carry hidden API keys, tokens, and credentials baked straight into their AI-generated bundles, and most founders never know until something breaks.
Here is the good news. You can catch this before it costs you. Start with a free scan and see exactly what your build is leaking.
Key Takeaways
launchreadycode.com/free-scan — no cost, no guesswork.$499 one-time. See the pricing page.AI coding tools are fast. They are also lazy in one specific way: they hardcode.
When you ask an assistant to "connect to Stripe" or "call OpenAI," it often drops the key straight into your client-side code. It runs. The demo works. You move on.
But that key ships in the bundle. Anyone who opens dev tools can read it. That is the core reason you need to find exposed secrets inside AI bundles before your users — or a scraper bot — do it for you.
Most founders never inspect the compiled output. The build folder feels like a black box. It is not. It is a plain-text confession of every shortcut your AI took.
We see the same pattern again and again across nearly every vibe-coded SaaS we scan. Three leaks, over and over.
Hardcoded API keys. Stripe, OpenAI, SendGrid, Supabase service keys sitting in plain sight inside the shipped JavaScript. Any user with browser dev tools can extract them in 30 seconds.
Leaked environment variables. The dreaded VITE_ or NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix attached to a secret that was never meant for the browser. Anything with a public-facing prefix is already exposed — it ships verbatim in the client bundle.
Exposed internal endpoints. Admin routes, debug URLs, and database connection strings the AI left in for convenience. These give attackers a map of your backend before you've even noticed.
Each one is a door. Each one is unlocked. The goal of any honest app security audit is to walk the building and close them all.
You can do a rough pass without any tool. It will not be complete, but it will open your eyes.
# Manual bundle inspection — open your app in Chrome
Step 1: Right-click → Inspect → Sources tab
Step 2: Ctrl+F and search for: sk_, api_key, secret, password, Bearer
Step 3: Network tab → watch request headers for keys in the clear
Step 4: Check .env — any VITE_ or NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix = already publicThis is the manual version of what a proper app security audit automates. It catches the loud problems. It misses the quiet ones — and there are always quiet ones in AI-generated code.
You do not need to spend a dollar to find out where you stand. That is the whole point of leading with the free scan.
The free scan reads your live bundle and flags the obvious leaks — hardcoded keys, public secrets, the low-hanging stuff that gets founders burned in week one.
Best for: anyone who shipped with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, or Replit and never looked at the compiled output. If that is you, run it today.
The free scan reads your live bundle in under 2 minutes and surfaces every exposed secret, public credential, and leaked endpoint. No code access required.
A free scan tells you the headline. A full audit tells you the story underneath.
When you are weeks from launch and real users are about to arrive, you want more than a surface check. You want the framework, the assessment, the fix list — all in one pass.
The Launch Readiness Audit, $499 one-time, is built for exactly this moment. It goes past "find exposed secrets inside AI bundles" and into the deeper layers: auth flows, access control, data handling, and the quiet bugs that vibe coding leaves behind. Delivered in under 2 minutes. Branded PDF report. Prioritized fix roadmap with time estimates per issue.
Exposed secrets are not just a security problem. They are a legal one.
If your app touches EU users, leaked credentials and unprotected data put your GDPR compliance at direct risk. And as of August 2026, EU AI Act compliance adds another layer for any product wiring AI into its core.
The Compliance Score, $799, maps your app against both. It is the engagement built for founders who need to prove, not assume, that they are clean.
| Option | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Free Scan | $0 | Any founder who wants to find exposed secrets inside AI bundles right now |
| Launch Readiness Audit | $499 one-time | Pre-launch apps needing a full security audit across all 4 dimensions |
| Compliance Score | $799 | Teams needing GDPR compliance and EU AI Act compliance proof |
| Starter Plan | $149/mo | Daily scans + weekly digest after the initial LRA diagnostic |
Start free. Move up only when the stakes call for it. That order is deliberate.
Vibe coding is a real way to build now. We are not here to talk you out of it.
But speed has a cost, and that cost is security. Every prompt that says "just make it work" trades safety for momentum. The fix is not to slow down — the fix is to run a check before you launch, so the shortcuts the AI took do not become the headline your users read about.
Find the exposed secrets inside your AI bundles early, and the rest of your launch gets a lot calmer.
Find exposed secrets inside your AI bundles before they find you. The free scan costs nothing and tells you the truth about your build.
