Rahmat Wibowo posted a security and SDLC audit claiming a public-facing government procurement platform had 13 vulnerabilities and 9% SDLC maturity, attributing failures to 'vibe coding', publicly naming developers without disclosing who commissioned the audit or why.

The Hidden Cost of "Vibe Coding": A
Comprehensive Security & SDLC Audit
| just completed a detailed security and
SDLC analysis on a public-facing
procurement audit platform handling
sensitive government data. The findings are
eye-opening,
What | Found:
@ 13 Security Vulnerabilities
+ No authentication (APIs completely open)
+ CORS misconfigured to accept any origin
+ Zero rate limiting (vulnerable to
scraping/DoS)
+ Information disclosure at every layer
@ 9% SDLC Maturity (Professional
standard: 70%+)
+ 0% test coverage (untestable codebase)
+ No CI/CD pipeline (manual deployments)
+ No monitoring/alerting (can't detect issues)
+ No error handling strategy
+ Plain JavaScript (no type safety)
The Real Cost:
This is what happens when "vibe coding”
(building intuitively without formal
processes) meets a public platform with
sensitive data.
The team built something smart—excellent
data analysis and algorithms. But they
skipped:
+ Tests (can't verify correctness)
+ Code reviews (security issues slip through)
+ Monitoring (production issues go
undetected)
+ Documentation (knowledge locked in
heads)
Recovery Path:
+ 6 weeks to fix critical issues
+ Data breach liability until authentication is,
implemented
The Lesson:
Every project starts with good intentions. But
without SDLC discipline, technical debt
compounds faster than code quality
improves. By the time you realize the
problem, you're looking at months of
firefighting.
The fix? Start with security and testing from
day one. It's cheaper to prevent than to
remediate.
