> Common Bolt.new Security Issues

Bolt.new makes it incredibly fast to build apps with AI. But that speed often introduces security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed before going to production.

Exposed API Keys in Bundles

Bolt.new apps frequently have API keys (OpenAI, Stripe, Supabase) hardcoded directly in JavaScript bundles. These are visible to anyone using browser DevTools.

// Found in bundle.js
const apiKey = "sk-proj-abc123..."

Missing Supabase RLS

Bolt.new often generates Supabase integrations without enabling Row Level Security. This means anyone with your anon key can read and modify all data.

-- RLS disabled on users table
ALTER TABLE users ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

Insecure Security Headers

AI-generated apps rarely include proper security headers. Missing CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options leave your app vulnerable to XSS and clickjacking.

// Add to vercel.json or next.config.js
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'

Exposed .env Files

Configuration files sometimes get deployed to production. A publicly accessible .env file can expose all your application secrets at once.

GET /.env → 200 OK
