Securing the Vibe-Coding Era with Continuous Access-Control Defense
Over 62% of AI-built applications ship with critical data leaks. When non-technical builders and fast-moving agencies use Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Base44, database Row-Level Security (RLS) is frequently bypassed or left vacuous.
Artilence delivers automated continuous runtime access-control regression testing, PostgREST vulnerability verification, leaked master key neutralization, and copy-paste AI remediation prompts. We ensure your team can ship at the speed of vibe coding without risking catastrophic client data exposure.
The Root Cause: What Actually Breaks in Vibe-Coded Apps
Most AI-generated apps combine a React frontend with a Supabase or Firebase backend. The breakdown is almost always in the PostgreSQL trust boundary:
Public by design. Ships inside the client JavaScript bundle. It grants nothing on its own if and only if Row-Level Security (RLS) is properly configured on PostgreSQL.
Server-only master key. Bypasses all PostgreSQL RLS policies globally. AI coding tools frequently insert this key into frontend code because the AI "fixed" a failing query with it.
Why Static Code Analysis Fails on AI-Generated Code
Reading repository code shows an RLS policy appears to exist (e.g. CREATE POLICY "Read" USING (true)). The frontend UI looks fine because the React component filtered the array for the current user. However, the underlying PostgreSQL database never agreed to that restriction. Anyone with curl or DevTools can query the auto-generated PostgREST REST API and extract every record in the table. Only probing the live deployment proves whether Postgres enforces it.

We protect your deployed AI applications across runtime access control, secret neutralization, and continuous deploy verification:
PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) Auditing
We probe your live PostgREST endpoints to verify that database policies strictly enforce tenant boundaries. AI coding tools frequently generate vacuous policies like USING (true) that render UI views safely while leaving the entire backend database open to unauthenticated reads.
Continuous Deploy-Triggered Regression Guard
Every single AI prompt can regenerate schema migrations and edge handlers. Our continuous guard re-scans on every platform publish or git push, alerting your team before an AI update reopens a critical security flaw in production.
Cross-Tenant IDOR & Access-Control Probing
We automate multi-account active probing by registering isolated accounts and attempting cross-tenant mutations. This confirms that User B's JWT can never read, update, or delete User A's private organization records.
service_role & Secret Key Neutralization
When an AI coding assistant struggles with database permissions, it frequently inserts the Supabase service_role master key into frontend client code. We extract and decode bundles to catch and neutralize leaked master keys, Stripe secrets, and OpenAI API tokens.
Storage Bucket & Edge Function Defense
We audit all Supabase Storage buckets and serverless edge functions (/functions/v1/*) for anonymous object listing, unrestricted downloads of sensitive customer files, and unauthenticated execution of costly LLM compute pipelines.
Actionable Proof-of-Fix & AI Prompts
Instead of 50-page PDF reports that sit in queues, we deliver plain-language risk summaries paired with copy-paste prompts formatted specifically for Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor, followed by automated re-exploitation to prove the hole is closed.
Shipping Client Apps on Lovable or Bolt? You Carry The Liability.
When an agency delivers an AI-built app to a client, one inadvertent schema regeneration can expose sensitive corporate or customer data. Solo builders churn after fixing one issue; agencies need continuous portfolio-wide assurance. We provide rolling portfolio monitoring, automated deploy alerts, and white-label Proof-of-Security compliance certificates.
The 2026 Vibe Vulnerability Taxonomy
Our engineering checks are grouped into three distinct tiers:
Tier A: Runtime-Only Checks (Defensible Core)
Invisible to Static AnalysisPostgREST unauthenticated table enumeration (A1), Cross-tenant IDOR between accounts (A2), Decoded service_role token in frontend JS (A3), Unrestricted INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (A4), Public Supabase Storage bucket enumeration (A5), Unauthenticated /functions/v1/* edge calls (A6), Logically flawed RLS (A7), and Privilege escalation via profile writes (A9).
Tier B: Externally Observable Commodity Checks
Surface HygieneRegex search (~150 patterns) for leaked Stripe/OpenAI/AWS keys in JS bundles (B1), Unpacked production source maps (B2), Missing CSP and HSTS security headers (B3), Permissive CORS configurations (B4), and Exposed .env / .git backup files (B5).
Tier C: Source Code & AST Level Review
Anthropic PR EngineDiff-based AST checks in git repositories for prompt injection flaws, unverified webhook signatures, and npm dependency CVEs, integrated seamlessly with Anthropic's claude-code-security-review.
How Our Security Audit & Guarding Process Works
From verified domain onboarding to automated continuous deploy monitoring:
1. Verified Domain Authorization
Active penetration testing requires explicit permission. We establish verified ownership via a DNS TXT record or well-known verification file to ensure non-destructive, authorized probing.
2. Live Runtime & Trust Boundary Probe
Our engine fetches your deployed JavaScript bundle, enumerates PostgREST endpoints, tests anon key permissions, and checks for leaked service_role tokens.
3. Multi-Account Cross-Tenant Probing
We spin up throwaway tenant accounts to stress-test your Row-Level Security rules against horizontal and vertical privilege escalation (IDOR).
4. AI-Formatted Remediation Prompts
You receive exact SQL policies and frontend configuration fixes formatted for your AI builder tool (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor) to apply in seconds.
5. Proof-of-Fix & Continuous Regression Guard
We re-probe the fix to mathematically prove it is closed, and configure automated deploy-triggered re-scans to protect against future regressions.

Why Choose Artilence for Vibe App Security?
Traditional static analysis tools only inspect code repositories, completely missing runtime database misconfigurations and service_role leaks. Artilence combines autonomous dynamic probing with continuous deploy-triggered regression monitoring, giving agencies and founders 100% confidence in their production builds.
Runtime-Only Truth
Static code analysis cannot verify whether PostgreSQL actually enforces an RLS policy. Only hitting the live deployment proves data is secure.
Zero False Positives
Our findings are binary and demonstrable: the scan either successfully extracts another tenant's data or it does not. No theoretical noise.
Continuous Deploy Guard
AI code assistants rewrite queries rapidly. We continuously monitor access boundaries whenever new code or migrations are deployed.
Agency & Partner Shield
Built specifically for consultancies shipping client applications on Lovable and Bolt who carry legal liability for customer data leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is static code analysis insufficient for vibe-coded applications?
In vibe-coded architectures (typically React + Supabase), looking at the code shows that an RLS policy appears to exist. However, only hitting the live deployment with the anon key proves whether PostgreSQL actually enforces it. Additionally, AI coding agents frequently insert service_role keys into frontend bundles to 'fix' a failing query, completely bypassing all database security at runtime.
How does Artilence differ from platform-native scanners like Lovable or Replit?
Platform-native scanners check that an RLS policy exists on paper, not that it is logically correct or aligned with multi-tenant boundaries. Independent benchmarks demonstrate that built-in platform checks miss up to 10 critical vulnerability categories—including cross-tenant IDOR, storage bucket traversal, and vacuous USING (true) policies. Artilence provides independent, continuous verification from the external attacker's perspective.
Why is 'Continuous Regression Guard' more important than a one-time scan?
In AI-driven development, every single prompt can regenerate database schemas, migrations, or frontend queries. An app secured on Monday can easily reopen critical RLS flaws on Tuesday's AI-generated deploy. One-time scans create a false sense of security; continuous regression monitoring catches vulnerabilities the moment code is pushed.
How do you handle legal authorization and domain verification?
Active security probes (like PostgREST queries or multi-account IDOR tests) constitute active penetration testing. Before any Tier A runtime probe is executed, Artilence requires verified domain ownership via a DNS TXT record or a well-known verification file, accompanied by clear terms of authorization. This prevents misuse and ensures safe, non-destructive testing.
What platforms and frameworks are supported?
We support applications built on Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit, Base44, Cursor, v0, and custom React / Next.js stacks utilizing Supabase, Firebase, Neon, Cloudflare D1, or custom REST/GraphQL backends.
Do you offer solutions specifically for agencies and consultancies?
Yes. Agencies shipping dozens of vibe-coded applications carry legal and reputational liability if client data leaks. Our Agency Security Partner program offers rolling portfolio monitoring, automated per-deploy regression alerts, and white-label Proof-of-Security compliance certificates for your clients.
