The Vibe Coding Blind Spot

Your Developers Are Vibe Coding. Do You Know Which Tools They're Using?

Vibe coding has transformed software development. Developers describe what they want in plain English and let AI generate the code. But each tool creates OAuth tokens, accesses repositories, and connects to your SaaS environment without security review.

Shadow AI Coding Tools

Developers adopt Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding tools to ship faster. Each tool connects to your codebase, cloud environments, and business applications through OAuth grants you may not know exist.

Unreviewed Code in Production

AI-generated code ships without human review. Hardcoded secrets, security vulnerabilities, and deprecated libraries slip into production. Vibe coding platforms have been found with security flaws in the code they generate.

Repository Access Sprawl

Every AI coding assistant needs access to source code. That means OAuth tokens with read and write permissions to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Developers grant access, but security teams never see it.

Data Exposure Through AI Context

Vibe coding tools ingest entire codebases to understand context. Your proprietary code, API keys, environment variables, and business logic flow into AI models. Without governance, sensitive data reaches platforms outside your control.

No Lifecycle Management

When projects end or developers leave, their AI coding tool connections persist. Service accounts remain active. OAuth grants stay open. The attack surface grows with every ungoverned tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vibe coding and why does it create security risks?

Vibe coding is an AI-assisted development approach where developers describe what they want in natural language and let AI tools generate the code. Popularized by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, it's transformed how software gets built.

• Tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot generate code from plain English prompts

• Developers often accept AI-generated code without reviewing it line by line

• Each tool requires OAuth access to repositories, creating tokens security teams don't see

• AI-generated code can contain hardcoded secrets, vulnerabilities, and deprecated libraries

Reco discovers which vibe coding tools developers use and tracks the access they've granted.

Learn more about AI Governance and Security.

How do AI coding tools create OAuth and access risks?

Every vibe coding tool needs access to your code. That means OAuth grants with permissions to read, write, and sometimes execute across your repositories and cloud environments.

• GitHub/GitLab OAuth grants for repository access

• Cloud provider connections for deployment and testing

• IDE extensions with broad workspace permissions

• API tokens that persist after projects complete

Developers grant this access to move fast. Security teams rarely see these connections until an incident occurs.

See how Identity Governance Compliance works.

What happens to AI coding tool access when developers leave?

Like all shadow AI, vibe coding tool connections persist after developers leave. OAuth tokens stay active. Repository access remains open.

• Cursor connections to private repositories stay open indefinitely

• GitHub Copilot business seats may transfer without review

• API tokens created for AI tools outlive the humans who created them

Reco maps every AI coding tool connection to the developer who created it, ensuring nothing is missed during offboarding.

See SaaS Offboarding capabilities.

Which vibe coding tools does Reco discover?

Reco discovers AI coding assistants that connect to your SaaS environment through OAuth, API tokens, or direct integrations.

• Cursor: AI-first IDE with deep codebase context and multi-file editing

• GitHub Copilot: Integrated code completion across VS Code and JetBrains IDEs

• Claude Code: Agentic coding tool for terminal-based development

• ChatGPT and OpenAI integrations accessing development workflows

The App Factory adds support for new AI development tools in days, not quarters.

How does Reco help govern vibe coding without slowing developers?

Reco provides visibility without blocking developer workflows. Security teams see what's connected while developers keep shipping.

• Discover which AI coding tools are in use across engineering teams

• Track OAuth grants and repository access in real time

• Flag tools accessing sensitive or production repositories

• Alert when new AI development tools connect without approval

Governance means visibility and policy, not blocking every tool developers want to use.

How does vibe coding governance fit with existing security policies?

Vibe coding governance extends your existing shadow IT and AI governance policies to development tools specifically.

• Same discovery mechanisms that find shadow SaaS and shadow AI

• Same identity governance that tracks human and non-human identities

• Same offboarding workflows that revoke access when employees leave

• Same compliance reporting that documents tool usage for audits

Reco treats AI coding tools as part of your overall SaaS security posture, not a separate problem.
