CRITICALSecrets & Exposure

JWT weak / hardcoded secrets

A JWT signed with a short, guessable, or hardcoded secret can be forged by anyone who discovers it. Attackers can craft tokens that impersonate any user, including admins.

HOW VIBECHECK DETECTS THIS

vibecheck clones your repository and runs Gitleaks, Semgrep, njsscan, and a suite of custom checks targeting patterns common in AI-generated code. This check is part of the Secrets & Exposure category. When a matching pattern is found, Claude triages the finding and produces a plain-English explanation and a concrete fix — no security expertise required.
