of vibe-coded apps fail their first security scan. Intruder monitors your network perimeter. Launch Ready Code audits your live product — the layer Intruder cannot see.

Intruder is a cloud-based vulnerability scanner that monitors your external attack surface continuously. It was built for security teams running scheduled scans on infrastructure.

Launch Ready Code was built for founders who shipped on Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Replit and need to know if their live product is safe before users find out it isn’t.

Launch Ready Code internal data (the vibe-coded apps we've audited): an average Launch Readiness Score around 44/100 on first audit, with most apps carrying at least one P0 critical finding, missing HTTP security headers, or exposing API keys and secrets. CVE-2025-48757 affected 170+ Lovable-built apps with disabled Supabase RLS. Sources: NVD CVE-2025-48757, OWASP Top 10.

How does Intruder compare to Launch Ready Code for vibe-coded apps?

The security vulnerabilities discussed here are catalogued in the OWASP Top 10 — the industry standard for web application risk. Severity scores for individual CVEs are published by NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD).

Across the 700+ vibe-coded applications Launch Ready Code has scanned, most have at least one critical security finding at their first audit, with an average Launch Readiness Score around 44/100 — LRC scan data, 2026.

What does Intruder miss in vibe-coded apps specifically?

Intruder is strong at perimeter scanning: open ports, CVEs in infrastructure, misconfigured headers. It was not built to understand how vibe-coded apps fail.

The most dangerous vibe-coded app vulnerability isn’t in the CVE database. It’s in the live database config that nobody checked.

When is Intruder still the right tool to use?

Intruder fits teams that run continuous infrastructure monitoring and need scheduled scans for compliance reports. It is especially useful when you need documented evidence of regular external scanning. Many security-conscious teams use both: Intruder monitors infrastructure; Launch Ready Code audits the product that sits on top of that infrastructure.

What does Launch Ready Code check in a security audit?

Every audit covers four dimensions: Security (OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25), Reliability, Performance, and Monitoring. Each finding is ranked P0 to P3 by severity and comes with a copy-paste fix you can drop into the AI tool that built the app.

Common questions about Intruder alternatives?

Is Launch Ready Code an alternative to Intruder for vibe-coded apps?

It depends what you need. Intruder monitors your network perimeter and infrastructure. Launch Ready Code audits the live product built on that infrastructure — specifically for the patterns that vibe-coded apps fail on. Many teams use both.

Does Intruder detect Supabase row-level security misconfig?

No. Supabase RLS is a database-level configuration outside the HTTP layer. Launch Ready Code flags it as a P0 critical finding. It was present in 31 of the first 47 Lovable and Bolt apps we audited.

How fast does Launch Ready Code return results?

The free scan returns a score in under 60 seconds. The full $499 Launch Readiness Audit is delivered within 48 hours.

Do I need to connect my GitHub repo to use Launch Ready Code?

No. Every scan runs against your live URL. No repository, no code access, no install.
