OWASP Top 10 for AI-Built Applications
Each OWASP vulnerability explained specifically for AI-generated code and vibe-coded applications
The OWASP Top 10 remains the clearest map of web application security risks. AI coding tools often generate code that's vulnerable to several of them because they optimize for "working code that satisfies the prompt," not "code that resists attack."
Here's the AI-generated-code lens: where the model tends to get it wrong and how to catch it before your users pay the price.
A01: Broken Access Control
Broken access control means a user can do things they shouldn't be able to do — view another user's data, escalate their privileges, or access admin functionality.
AI-generated code is particularly susceptible here because LLMs tend to generate "happy path" code. Ask for a profile endpoint and you'll often get code that fetches any user by ID without checking whether the requester is al
