Part two gets into the part that actually costs money: what's broken under the hood, and what happens when nobody catches it.
Stanford research shows developers using AI tools produce less secure code than those without. IOActive's 2026 whitepaper found 31.6% of AI-generated code samples are fully exploitable. Yet the developers shipping it report higher confidence in the result. That gap is where vibe-coded sites get hit.
We walk through the real e-commerce audit from part one, the SEO and functionality issues nobody saw, and what the open-source ecosystem inherits when AI-generated code starts showing up in plugin marketplaces.
What's in this episode:
- The actual security findings from a vibe-coded e-commerce audit
- False confidence in AI-generated code
- Why "we'll add security audits later" is the most expensive sentence in DTC
- Vibe coding as a new threat to the open-source ecosystem
- Balancing speed and quality with AI tools
