RULES FILES FOR SAFER VIBE CODING

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Studies have shown that code generated by LLMs contains many security vulnerabilities. Developers should move security earlier in the development process by creating rules files for IDEs like Cursor, which include security guardrails and instructions. This post offers guidance on writing prompts for these rules files. Early research indicates that simply adding the word “secure” to a prompt can significantly reduce vulnerabilities.
