After reading a post about vibe coding risks, I did a full security audit across all 11 of my self-hosted SaaS products.
Here's what I found and fixed:
Authentication & Rate Limiting
No rate limiting on register/login routes → added IP-based limiting
Authorization
Missing auth middleware on several API endpoints → patched
Demo Mode
Demo accounts could bypass restrictions → fixed permission checks
Database
Over-privileged DB users → tightened to minimum required permissions
All running in production for 3 days before I caught this.
If you're shipping fast with AI assistance, don't skip the security pass.
