Vibe coded apps do not fail because AI writes broken code. AI writes the happy path. It skips the adversarial path.

Here are five holes you must close.

• Database security. Many builders leave row level security off. Your UI filters data. Your database does not. Wrong: Rely on client side filters. Right: Enable RLS. Enforce user IDs at the database level.

• Authorization gaps. Apps check if a user is logged in. They forget to check if the user owns the data. Wrong: Trust a path or body parameter. Right: Check if the user owns the record on every route.

• Exposed API keys. Keys in frontend bundles get scraped in minutes. Wrong: Put keys in frontend env vars or commit .env files. Right: Keep secrets on the server. Use a secrets manager. Proxy calls through your backend.

• Input injection. User text flows straight into your model or database. This is prompt injection or XSS. Wrong: Trust user text in prompts or queries. Right: Validate input. Use parameterized queries. Separate system rules from user text.

• Billing bombs. One script costs you thousands of dollars overnight. Wrong: Assume only humans use your app. Right: Set rate limits per user and IP. Set a hard spend cap.

These gaps separate a demo from a real product. No builder closes them for you. You own the architecture.
