Yes. And the more autonomously we create code, the more of these (and not only these) vulnerabilities we'll be adding. Combine that with the AI-automation in attacks, and you have an all-out security mess.

It's like a Petri dish for inventing new angles of security attacks.

Oh, and let's not forget that coding agents are non-deterministic. The same prompt will yield a different result each time. Especially for more complex tasks. So it's probably enough to wait till the vibe-coded product "slips." Ultimately, as a black hat hacker, I don't need all products to be vulnerable. I can work with those few that are.

Agreed. The non-determinism makes traditional testing basically useless here. You can't write a test suite for "the agent decided to do something unexpected this time." Logging and runtime checks are the only way to catch the weird edge cases.
