Benchmark
Measured 2026-09-16 with vibecheck, a deterministic static analyser for the production-failure patterns AI-built apps hit.
Anil-matcha/awesome-generative-ai-apps is a catalogue containing many sub-projects, so its counts are not comparable to a single app.vibecheck.py (stdlib-only, deterministic, no network, test/fixture paths skipped by default). Run on the tree as published, unmodified.| rule | repos affected | what it means |
|---|---|---|
route-without-auth | 6 | An API route with no authentication check — the classic 'I'll add auth later'. |
client-exposed-secret | 5 | A secret-ish variable shipped to the browser bundle via a public prefix. |
dangerous-html | 5 | Untrusted content rendered as raw HTML (XSS surface). |
auth-todo | 1 | A TODO/stub standing where an auth check should be. |
cors-wildcard | 1 | Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on an authenticated surface. |
hardcoded-secret | 1 | A real credential literal committed in source. |

This is exactly the kind of measurement the agent ecosystem needs. A few reactions:
On the 31% clean rate: This matches what I see in production agent code. The route-withless-auth pattern is especially dangerous for agents because agents often spin up endpoints quickly without the traditional code-review gate that (sometimes) catches this in human-written code.
On reproducibility: The fact that this is deterministic and stdlib-only is key. Too many security scanners are black boxes. Being able to re-run python3 scan_corpus.py and get the same numbers is what makes this actionable.
Missing pattern I see in agent code: unbounded-agent-loop — an agent task with no termination condition, no max iterations, and no cost cap. I have seen agents run up unexpected API bills because the loop condition was "keep going until done" with no definition of "done."
Question: Have you considered adding a rule for missing-cost-cap? In agent automation, unbounded loops are the equivalent of hardcoded secrets — silent failures that only show up when the bill arrives.
Great work. This is the kind of benchmark that moves the ecosystem forward.
