The study examines how adding a security-requirements section to prompts affects web applications generated by a large language model. Six distinct applications were produced twice—once with a baseline prompt and once with a security-aware prompt—yielding 12 programs. Analysis of these programs revealed 75 confirmed security findings, with the security-aware variants showing fewer issues (24 vs. 51) and no Critical or High severity problems.

SecureVibe is a training recipe designed to enhance the security of vibe coding by explicitly targeting planning and testing for code security. It combines supervised fine‑tuning on a security suite with post‑training methods (SECUREVIBE_rl and SECUREVIBE_hg) that use verifiable execution feedback and hint‑based self‑supervision. The approach outperforms baselines on multiple security coding benchmarks, improving security pass@1 by up to 6.9 points on BaxBench and 11.5 points on SusVibes, while also boosting functionality pass@1 on both security and generic coding tasks.
