If You're Selling Vibe-Coded Apps to Clients, You're One Breach Away From a Lawsuit

You built a client's app in 3 hours with Lovable. Charged $500. Client loved it. Shipped it. Six weeks later, their customer data leaks. The client's lawyer sends you a letter. This isn't hypothetical. It's the trajectory. The Numbers Nobody's Talking About 60% of AI-generated apps fail basic security tests ( Escape.tech , 5,600 apps scanned) 67% of vibe-coded repos have critical vulnerabilities ( ShipSafe , 100 repos audited) 35 new CVEs in March 2026 alone from AI-generated code ( Georgia Tech Vibe Radar ) 47,000 poisoned downloads in 46 minutes when LiteLLM was supply chain attacked last week You're not building insecure apps on purpose. The AI tools you're using are generating insecure code by default. Missing Row Level Security. Hardcoded API keys. No input validation. Client-side only authentication. The AI optimizes for "it works." Not "it's secure." The Liability Problem When you build an app for a client, you own the outcome. "I used AI to build it" is not a legal defense. Nei
