I Built a Security Linter for AI-Generated Code, Here Is What I Found in a Real Production Codebase

Description and use

VibeGuard is a free open-source linter that detects and fixes vulnerabilities introduced by AI coding tools in real codebases, improving security and code quality.

Problem

AI coding tools generate code that repeatedly contains security vulnerabilities, which existing security pipelines miss.

Outcome

VibeGuard identified 3 critical vulnerabilities in a production codebase that were missed by the existing pipeline, and provided exact one-line fixes.

Workflow

• Clone the VibeGuard repository
• Create and activate a virtual environment
• Install dependencies
• Run VibeGuard scan against the project path

Evidence

533 files scanned. 3 critical security vulnerabilities. All produced by AI coding tools. All missed by their existing security pipeline. All fixed with exact one-line commands.
