Escape raises $18M to replace pen-testers with AI agents

The timing is not coincidental. In October 2025, Escape published research that scanned more than 5,600 publicly deployed applications built with vibe coding platforms, tools like Lovable, Base44, and Bolt.new that let non-developers build and ship apps by describing what they want in plain English.
