5,000 Vibe-Coded Apps Are Leaking on the Open Web — and the S3 Analogy Misses the Legal Novelty

RedAccess found 5,000-plus exposed apps on the four leading vibe-coding platforms with around 2,000 leaking real PHI, customer chat logs, and strategy decks. The S3 analogy is reaching for the right pattern but missing the legal twist: AWS could credibly say it didn't write your bucket policy. Lovable, Replit, and Base44 wrote the auth logic that doesn't exist. The first court that holds a code-generation platform partially liable for a generated vulnerability resets the entire industry's product roadmap overnight.
