Use this essential 10-point verification checklist before promoting your vibe-coded application from prototype to public production.
## The Pre-Flight Launch Verification Deploying software generated with AI assistance is fast and exciting. However, before directing public users and payments to your application, walk through this definitive **10-point security checklist**. --- ### 1. Server-Side Session Verification - [ ] Every API endpoint validates the incoming session cookie or authorization header. - [ ] Role-based access control (Admin vs User) is validated against the database or JWT claims on the server. ### 2. Database Query Sanitization - [ ] All SQL queries use parameterized arguments (`$1, $2`) or typed ORM builders (Drizzle, Prisma). - [ ] Database access limits (`LIMIT 50`) and pagination are enforced on large collection queries. ### 3. Row-Level Security (RLS) - [ ] If using PostgreSQL with Supabase or Firebase, RLS is enabled on every table with strict ownership policies. ### 4. Secret Isolation - [ ] No private keys (Stripe secret keys, database URIs, signing secrets) exist in client components or browser runtime variables. - [ ] Live `.env` files are in `.gitignore`. ### 5. API Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention - [ ] Rate limiting is enabled on `/api/auth/*` and LLM generation endpoints to prevent denial-of-wallet attacks. ### 6. Payment Integrity - [ ] Checkout sessions calculate total charge amounts from server-side price catalogs, never from client request bodies. ### 7. CORS & Origin Protection - [ ] CORS headers restrict origins to trusted domains rather than wildcard `*` when cookies are transmitted. ### 8. Input Validation & Type Safety - [ ] API route request bodies are parsed and validated with schema libraries like **Zod**. ### 9. Error Boundary Telemetry - [ ] Unhandled exceptions return generic user-friendly messages while logging detailed diagnostics to tools like Sentry. ### 10. Automated Diagnostic Scan - [ ] Run your project ZIP through **CoreVibbe** to receive an automated Health Score and prioritized remediation plan.

Practical Implementation Checklist

Check 1: Server-Side Authentication Verification

Ensure all protected routes check authenticated session tokens on the server.

Check 2: Parameterized SQL Queries

Verify that raw string interpolation is eliminated from all database queries.

Check 3: Private Keys Isolated to Server

Confirm no private SDKs are instantiated inside client components.

Check 4: Rate Limiting on Public Endpoints

Configure sliding-window rate limiters on login, register, and generation routes.
