Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source--in the Worst Way Possible

As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software--as they have with open source in the past--they risk introducing critical security failures along the way. Just like you probably don't grow and grind wheat to make flour for your bread, most software developers don't write every line of code in a new project from scratch. Doing so would be extremely slow and could create more security issues than it solves. So developers draw on existing libraries--often open source projects--to get various basic software components in place. While this approach is efficient, it can create exposure and lack of visibility into software.
