5,000 vibe-coded apps just proved shadow AI is the new S3 bucket crisis

A recent study by Israeli cybersecurity firm RedAccess highlights a significant security gap in enterprise environments due to the rise of 'shadow AI'—applications created quickly using vibe coding tools like Lovable and deployed on public platforms. The research uncovered 380,000 publicly accessible assets, with around 5,000 containing sensitive corporate information, raising alarms about the inadequacies of traditional security measures. This situation underscores the urgent need for enhanced security protocols to address the risks posed by these rapidly developed applications.
