Bolt.new + Supabase Security

Bolt.new makes it easy to add Supabase to your project. But the AI-generated integration often skips critical security configurations like RLS policies.

Why Bolt + Supabase?

Bolt.new's one-click Supabase integration is popular for quickly adding authentication and database features. The speed of setup means security is often an afterthought.

Common Vulnerabilities

These are the security issues we find most often in Bolt apps using Supabase.

critical

No RLS on Quick-Created Tables

Tables created through Bolt's AI assistant typically lack Row Level Security, exposing all data to anyone.

medium

Hardcoded Supabase Credentials

AI may place Supabase URL and keys directly in source files instead of environment variables.

high

Missing Auth Checks in Queries

Generated code may query data without verifying the user is authenticated or authorized.

high

Public Storage Buckets

Supabase Storage buckets created by Bolt may allow public read/write access.

What We Check for Bolt + Supabase

RLS Verification

Test all tables for proper Row Level Security configuration.

Credential Exposure

Scan for hardcoded Supabase URLs and keys in source code.

Storage Security

Check Storage bucket policies for overly permissive access.

Query Authorization

Analyze data fetching patterns for missing auth checks.

Quick Security Wins

Apply these fixes right now to improve your security.

Enable RLS on all tables immediately
Move Supabase credentials to .env file
Add auth.uid() checks to all RLS policies
Set Storage bucket policies to require authentication
Use supabase.auth.getUser() before data operations

The Bottom Line

Bolt.new + Supabase is great for prototypes, but needs security hardening before production. Focus on RLS policies and credential management.
