The Vibe Coding Security and Risk Course - 2026 (Udemy.com)

Vibe coding is redefining how software gets built. Powered by AI tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot, developers—and even non-developers—can now generate functional code by simply describing what they want in natural language.

But this new speed and accessibility come with hidden dangers.

The "Vibe Coding Security & Risk Course" is a comprehensive course dedicated to helping you understand and mitigate the unique cybersecurity risks introduced by AI-assisted coding.

This course explores the security pitfalls of vibe coding, the limitations of AI-generated code, and the practical controls—like prompt engineering, Cursor Rules, and AI output review gates—that you need to build safely and responsibly.

What You Will Learn

• The fundamentals of vibe coding workflows and how they differ from traditional programming

• The security risks of vibe coding, including AI hallucinations, prompt injection, dependency poisoning, and insecure default patterns

• How traditional software security best practices still apply—but why they’re no longer enough

• How to use prompt rules and Cursor Rules to shape AI-generated code for better security outcomes

• How to implement AI-specific controls
