How to secure apps in saas & micro-saas
Solo founders and small teams ship SaaS products fast using Cursor, Lovable, and Bolt. Speed is the advantage, but vibe-coded MVPs often go to production with hardcoded secrets, broken tenant isolation, and missing auth checks. VibeEval catches the vulnerabilities that AI coding tools leave behind before your first paying customer finds them.

Relevant regulatory frameworks
SaaS & Micro-SaaS applications operate under these regulatory frameworks. VibeEval tests for vulnerabilities that could be relevant to these standards.
Common app types in saas & micro-saas
Industry-specific vulnerabilities
Hardcoded Secrets in Vibe-Coded MVPs
API keys, database passwords, and Stripe secrets left in source code from rapid prototyping with AI tools, often pushed to public GitHub repos.
Missing Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
SaaS apps without proper tenant isolation allowing one customer to access another customers data through simple ID manipulation in API requests.
Broken Auth in AI-Generated Code
Authentication flows generated by Cursor or Copilot with bypasses, weak session management, or missing authorization checks on sensitive endpoints.
Insecure Third-Party Integrations
Rapid integration of Stripe, Supabase, and auth providers without proper webhook verification or security configuration.
Missing Rate Limiting
APIs without rate limiting vulnerable to credential stuffing, data scraping, and resource exhaustion that can rack up cloud bills.
No Logging or Monitoring
Zero security event logging or error tracking makes it impossible to detect attacks or debug incidents after they happen.
How VibeEval helps saas & micro-saas teams
Automated security testing designed for saas & micro-saas applications.
Run a secrets scanner before every deploy to catch hardcoded credentials from rapid AI-assisted development.
Build tenant isolation at the database query level from day one. Retrofitting multi-tenancy security later costs 10x more.
Scan before investor due diligence or enterprise sales calls. Showing proactive security testing accelerates deals.
Frequently asked questions
When should an indie hacker start thinking about security?
From your first deploy. Security debt compounds faster than technical debt. A single breach can kill an early-stage product. VibeEval makes it easy to scan from day one.
Does VibeEval catch vulnerabilities in AI-generated code?
Yes. VibeEval is built specifically for vibe-coded apps. It catches hardcoded secrets, broken auth flows, and missing access controls that AI coding tools commonly produce.
How does VibeEval handle micro-SaaS apps built with Lovable or Bolt?
VibeEval scans the deployed app regardless of how it was built. It tests for the exact patterns that vibe coding tools get wrong: auth bypasses, exposed API keys, and missing tenant isolation.
What do investors look for in security due diligence?
Investors check for data protection, incident response, and evidence of security testing. VibeEval scan reports demonstrate proactive vulnerability identification.
Is VibeEval affordable for solo founders?
VibeEval has a free tier that covers essential security scanning. As you grow, pricing scales with your needs rather than requiring enterprise-level investment upfront.
