SECURITY TESTING FOR HEALTHCARE APPS

Solo founders building health trackers, telehealth MVPs, and wellness apps with AI tools often miss critical security requirements. Vibe-coded healthcare apps frequently lack audit logging, encryption, and access controls that protect sensitive health data from breaches.

Scan your healthcare apps for vulnerabilities

Why security matters for healthcare apps

Healthcare Apps handle sensitive data and business-critical operations. A single vulnerability can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and damaged reputation. VibeEval automatically tests for the most common security issues specific to healthcare apps.

Top vulnerabilities in healthcare apps

PHI Exposure in API Responses

API endpoints that return full patient records when only summary data is needed, or that lack proper field-level access controls on protected health information.

Missing Audit Logging

Access to patient records not logged with required details like who accessed what data and when, leaving no audit trail for security investigations.

Broken Access Controls on Patient Records

Healthcare providers or patients able to access records outside their authorized scope by manipulating patient IDs or care team parameters.

Unencrypted PHI at Rest

Patient data stored in databases or file systems without encryption, leaving sensitive health information exposed if the database is compromised.

Session Management in Clinical Workflows

Long-lived sessions on shared clinical workstations that do not auto-lock, allowing unauthorized access to patient data when providers step away.

Insecure Patient Portal Authentication

Patient-facing portals with weak authentication that lack MFA, use predictable password reset tokens, or allow account enumeration.

Frequently asked questions

How does VibeEval test for vulnerabilities in apps that handle health data?

VibeEval tests for vulnerabilities including PHI exposure, missing encryption, broken access controls, and inadequate audit logging. It is a vulnerability scanner, not a compliance audit tool, but it catches the most critical security gaps in healthcare apps.

Can VibeEval scan apps that handle patient data?

Yes. VibeEval uses non-destructive testing and never stores or modifies patient data. You can provide test accounts with synthetic data for authenticated scanning.

What are the biggest security risks for healthcare apps?

PHI exposure through API oversharing, missing audit trails, and weak access controls are the most common issues. These vulnerabilities put sensitive patient data at risk of breach.

How does VibeEval handle sensitive medical data during scanning?

VibeEval performs black-box testing and does not store any data from your application. We recommend using test environments with synthetic patient data for scanning.

When should I scan my healthcare app for vulnerabilities?

Scan early and often. VibeEval identifies technical vulnerabilities before they become security incidents, giving you time to fix them. Regular scanning after each deployment helps maintain strong security posture.
