An honest security analysis of Lovable for developers considering it for their projects.
Lovable is generally safe to use, but apps built with it require security review. A critical RLS vulnerability (CVE-2025-48757) affected 170+ apps in January 2025, exposing user data. Your app's security depends on proper Supabase configuration.
Security researchers discovered that 170+ Lovable apps had misconfigured Supabase RLS, exposing sensitive user data including emails, API keys, and payment information.
Lovable is a powerful tool for rapid app development, but you must verify security before launching. The January 2025 incident showed that default configurations are not production-ready. Always scan your app and configure Supabase RLS properly.
