What happened

According to its headline, Bank Info Security reports that an ex-hacker says vibe-coded APIs are “riddled with vulnerabilities” (Bank Info Security: Ex-Hacker: Vibe-Coded APIs Riddled With Vulnerabilities). The headline is dated 2026-11-12.

The text we received for this story contained only site navigation and the headline, not the article body. The following are therefore not confirmed:

  • The identity of the ex-hacker.
  • Which vulnerabilities, products, tools or vendors are involved.
  • How the claim was tested, and how many APIs were examined.
  • Whether any CVE exists or any attack has occurred.

This is one outlet reporting one person’s statement. We found no independent verification.

Am I affected?

Not confirmed. The source as available to us names no product, version or vendor. The claim concerns APIs built with AI-assisted “vibe coding”; whether your code is affected depends on details we do not have.

What to do now

The source gives no remediation guidance. The steps below are our editorial suggestions, not facts from the report.

  1. Read the full article at the Bank Info Security link below for the ex-hacker’s specifics.
  2. List the APIs in your organisation that were written or heavily changed with AI coding assistants.
  3. Put those APIs through your usual security review or testing before relying on the claim either way.
  4. Check back here: we will update this advisory if the details are confirmed.
