Vibe App Scanner
One-click security scan for prompt injection and supply-chain risks in AI-generated apps
- Problem
- Users hesitate to install vibe-coded apps, worrying about prompt injection or hidden viruses. These apps often lack human code review, creating high security risks.
- Solution
- A scanning tool where users upload or link to app code/binaries; it analyzes dependencies, prompt injection patterns, suspicious network calls, and gives a security score with fix suggestions; can integrate into CI or browser extension.
- Users
- Early adopters of AI-generated apps, developers, security teams.
- MVP
- Upload zip or GitHub repo link; static scan of dependencies and known malicious patterns; detect common prompt injection keywords; output simple report; CLI and web UI.
- Revenue
- Free basic scan, paid advanced scan (deep analysis, continuous monitoring); per-scan or monthly subscription.
- Why now
- Explosion of AI-generated apps with lagging security tools; indie developers can build lightweight scanners leveraging existing SAST tools and prompt injection databases.
