We scanned our own production site and found 8 vulnerabilities. Here’s the list.
Building software in 2026 feels surreal. With LLMs handling boilerplate, we ship features in hours that used to take weeks. But fast shipping has a nasty side effect: it breeds overconfidence. A few days ago, we ran an automated check against our own live marketing site ( vergate.dev ). We build security and diagnostic tools for a living, so we expected a clean bill of health.

In 2026, software development seems almost magical, with artificial intelligence tools generating features in mere hours that once took weeks. However, this rapid pace has its downside, fostering an unwarranted sense of confidence. Recently, Vergate ran an automated security scan on their own live marketing site, vergate.dev, and discovered eight significant vulnerabilities.
While they expected a clean bill of health, the results were disheartening. The automated tool uncovered critical security issues, including missing security headers that left their site exposed to basic cross-site attacks. This incident underscores the importance of continuously measuring and automating security checks, as it's often embarrassing to realize how much can slip through the cracks when developing software in-house.
