The 5-Second Security Check Every Founder Needs for AI-Generated Code

AI coding assistants are incredibly fast, but that speed comes with risks. After analyzing hundreds of security incidents, here's the 5-second check that could save your startup:

The 5-Second Check:

1. Search for .env in ALL files (including .gitignore)
2. Look for http:// (ensure it's https://)
3. Scan for hardcoded API keys
4. Check file permissions
5. Verify database connection strings

@swp0x0 reported multiple startups leaking credentials through AI-generated code this week. As @amjad notes: "Vibe coding is great for prototypes, lethal for production."

How to Run This with CodeBrain

1. Open your CodeBrain Obsidian vault
2. Use Claude Code CLI: claude scan security ./src
3. Let Rube MCP auto-check commits via pre-commit hook
4. Enable SuperWhisper voice commands: "Check security on latest changes"

CodeBrain's privacy-first setup means your code never leaves your system during security checks. The Gemini CLI integration can even auto-fix common security issues it finds.
