Vibe Coding Can Create Unseen Vulnerabilities
devops.com, Tuesday, November 11th, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a dramatic impact on software development. AI-supported software development, also known as 'vibe coding,' is the latest phenomenon to impact application development.
Using AI to write software shortens application development time and puts coding in the hands of less experienced developers. It also introduces the potential for adding security vulnerabilities to AI-written software.
The appeal of vibe coding is compelling, especially for smaller businesses with limited budgets. However, vibe coding can put coding in the hands of line managers who better understand strategic goals. However, just because vibe coding simplifies development, taking the developer out of the loop can be a critical error. AI-written code requires expert review and validation.
