It’s Giving Insecure Vibes: Secure Coding Literacy for Vibe Coders

Speaker:

Abstract

Vibe coding has a time and a place: it is great for making quick prototypes, and is very tempting for less technical folks.
However, those who don’t understand their own code will be blissfully unaware of the many security vulnerabilities that AI assistants can introduce.
In this presentation, I will cover a variety of common vulnerabilities that can be introduced from vibe coding, and then how to recognize and fix them, with a focus on JavaScript. I will also cover how to prompt genAI tools to code more securely and help you review your code, as well as how to take a hybrid approach with AI-advised coding.
This is a crucial topic for anyone venturing into vibe coding, as well as any team leads who are starting to see AI-generated code introduced by more junior members.
