About VibeSec
Note: This capability is currently in Early Access (EA) and is not generally available. To request access, please contact OX technical support.
VibeSec helps you secure AI coding agents as they generate and modify code. It reduces the risk of introducing security issues during AI-assisted development and gives security teams a foundation for governing how AI coding agents are used across the organization.
VibeSec works across multiple AI coding agents, allowing you to secure development workflows using tools such as Cursor and Claude Code.
How VibeSec secures your code
When a developer works with an AI coding agent, VibeSec analyzes the developer's prompt and identifies the security risks that are likely to be introduced. Based on that analysis, VibeSec provides security instructions that guide the agent toward a safer implementation.
These instructions are sent to the AI coding agent, not to the developer directly. This process runs in the background and does not interrupt the developer’s regular workflow. The guidance is provided before the code is generated, helping prevent vulnerabilities rather than detecting and fixing them after the code is written.
For example, if VibeSec detects that a prompt may lead to an SQL injection risk in Java or Go code, it can provide the AI coding agent with instructions for preventing SQL injection risk. Then, the agent generates the code securely based on these instructions.
VibeSec focuses on preventing security issues during code generation and code changes. It helps reduce the chance that AI-generated code will introduce vulnerabilities that would otherwise reach the repository.
This capability is especially important in AI-assisted development flows, where developers may accept generated code quickly and may not always review every change in depth.
VibeSec and AI agent governance
AI coding agents introduce more than code-generation risk. They can also use external components such as MCP servers, skills, hooks, and IDE Extensions & models. These components expand the AI attack surface and can be difficult for security teams to track and manage.
In addition, AI coding agents can introduce or modify dependencies automatically, often without a detailed review by the developer. This creates a separate risk area, where insecure or unverified packages may be added to the application without full visibility or control.
VibeSec is built to address this broader risk area as well. In addition to secure code guidance, VibeSec is evolving to support governance use cases such as visibility into AI agent components, evaluation of allowed and disallowed usage, and policy-based control.
