The Opportunity
A security scanner built specifically for vibe-coded apps. You enter a URL, the system scans exposed endpoints, detects auth gaps, and generates a report in 60 seconds. Price: €29/scan or $49/mo. Pitch: "Your vibe-coded app is probably exposed. Find out before someone else does." The Clinejection attack (malware installed on 4,000 machines via AI agent) proved this category is urgent.
Why This Fits
The viral tweet (201K views, 3.3K likes, 714 bookmarks: "announce your vibe-coded app → someone dumps your whole DB with a GET request") already did the marketing. The audience knows they have this problem. Existing security tools (Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP) are enterprise-grade and complex. No one has built the simple, fast, affordable version for indie builders. JetStream Security raised $34M confirming institutional validation of the space.
→ Next Step
MVP: URL form → automated curl checking exposed endpoints → CORS misconfiguration check → env variable exposure scan → PDF report. $29/scan. Distribution: post in r/webdev and r/SaaS using the viral tweet as context. Reply directly to threads where vibe-coders share their launches.

Cross Validation
Viral tweet 201K/714bk + GitHub C4 AI pentester (shannon) + Aura-State + Codebuff = four signals. The category of 'security for AI-generated code' is forming. Shannon does the offensive; nobody has the defensive layer for vibecorders.
