Vibe coding with AI tools can introduce four critical security vulnerabilities: exposed API keys in code or version control, weak authentication systems that oversimplify permission checks, insecure dependencies from rapidly added packages, and unvalidated user inputs or file uploads. Mitigate these by storing secrets server-side via environment variables, designing auth architecture before implementation, minimizing dependencies with tools like Dependabot, and enforcing strict server-side validation for all inputs and uploads.
