The hook
AI-generated code can move faster than the review habits around it. The failure mode is rarely one dramatic prompt; it is a repo with no automated security checks, no dependency update loop, no secret scanner, and no instruction file telling agents to preserve auth, RLS, CORS, CSP, and test coverage.
Otú ọ si arụ ọrụ
The repo check looks for web-app signals, then audits CI workflows, dependency automation config, secret-scanner config, and AI-agent instruction files such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, or Cursor rules. Missing guardrails become one consolidated finding rather than four noisy findings.
The blast radius
Without guardrails, AI-assisted edits can introduce raw SQL interpolation, unsafe HTML sinks, leaked keys, decode-only JWT handling, permissive CORS, or removed authorization checks without any automated system stopping the merge.

What FixVibe checks
FixVibe repo scans look for high-confidence security patterns and dependency risk in source context. Reports identify the affected area and recommended fix. For check-specific questions about exact detection heuristics, active payload details, or source-code rule patterns, contact support@fixvibe.app.
Ironclad defenses
Add CodeQL or Semgrep, Gitleaks or TruffleHog, Dependabot or Renovate, and normal test/typecheck gates to CI. Update AI-agent instructions to require auth/RLS review, secret handling, OWASP-style checks, no weakening of security controls, and regression tests for security-sensitive changes.
