Thousands of AI ‘Vibe Coding’ Apps May Expose Sensitive Medical, Business Data

A new investigation by Israeli cybersecurity firm Red Access found thousands of AI-generated web apps leaking data ranging from medical records to internal business documents. The findings add to mounting concerns about vibe coding, a fast-growing trend in which users rely heavily on AI tools to generate and deploy software with little or no traditional coding experience.


The investigation also found roughly 380,000 publicly accessible assets created with AI-powered coding tools such as Lovable, Replit, Netlify, and Base44. According to the researchers, about 5,000 of those apps exposed potentially sensitive information.


The exposed information reportedly included medical records, financial documents, chatbot conversations, schedules, and internal business materials.
