The Security Manifesto
Risks & Governance
A comprehensive analysis of 'AI-Native' vulnerabilities. From 'Slopsquatting' to 'Package Hallucinations', learn why 40% of junior devs deploy code they don't understand.
01
The Threat Landscape
Vibe coding prioritizes the 'Happy Path', often removing security controls to reduce friction. This creates a new class of risks rooted in the probabilistic nature of LLMs.
| Risk | Mechanism | Attack Vector |
|---|---|---|
| Hallucination | AI invents non-existent libs | Slopsquatting (Malware injection) |
| Insecure Defaults | AI sets permissive configs | CORS *, SSL Verify False |
| Logic Flaws | Surface-level correctness | Auth Bypass in edge cases |
02
The Defense Architecture
Organizations must deploy an 'AI Firewall' (like CodeGate) and enforce 'Strict Mode' via .cursorrules to prevent data leakage and insecure patterns.
- AI Firewall: Intercepts traffic between IDE and LLM to redact secrets and block malicious packages.
- Strict Mode: .cursorrules that ban 'pip install' without verification.
- SBOM Integrity: Verifying that dependencies actually exist before installation.
03
The Human Element
Technology alone cannot solve the crisis. Governance must shift to 'Human-in-the-Loop' accountability.
“The excuse 'the AI wrote it' is not a valid defense for a security breach.”
