4 Security Issues Documented

Common vulnerabilities found in Tempo Labs applications

0 Critical4 High0 Medium

High Severity Issues

Client-Side Data Exposure

high

Generated React components may store sensitive data in client state or local storage where it's accessible to attackers.

Impact

Attack surface expansion. In combination with other findings, enables data exposure, account compromise, or service abuse.

How to Detect

Run a VAS scan against the deployed Tempo Labs app URL — automated detection is the fastest and most reliable path.

How to Fix

Enforce all security-relevant checks server-side. Treat client-side validation as UX only — attackers bypass the UI entirely by calling APIs directly.

Insecure API Integration

high

Visual-to-code generation may create API calls without proper authentication headers or error handling.

Impact

Account takeover of legitimate users. Attackers gain full access to victim accounts and any data/actions those accounts permit.

How to Detect

Attempt 20+ login requests with the same username in under 60 seconds. If all complete without rate limiting or lockout, the issue is present.

How to Fix

Enforce email verification, minimum password requirements, and rate limiting on auth endpoints. Test auth flows as unauthenticated and cross-user to verify access controls.

Missing Input Validation

high

Generated form components often prioritize design over security, skipping validation and sanitization.

Impact

Attack surface expansion. In combination with other findings, enables data exposure, account compromise, or service abuse.

How to Detect

Run a VAS scan against the deployed Tempo Labs app URL — automated detection is the fastest and most reliable path.

How to Fix

Use parameterized queries, sanitize all user input, and render dynamic content with framework escaping (React JSX, not dangerouslySetInnerHTML).

Unprotected Data Fetching

high

Auto-generated useEffect hooks and data fetchers may expose backend APIs without rate limiting or auth.

Impact

Account takeover of legitimate users. Attackers gain full access to victim accounts and any data/actions those accounts permit.

How to Detect

Attempt 20+ login requests with the same username in under 60 seconds. If all complete without rate limiting or lockout, the issue is present.

How to Fix

Enforce email verification, minimum password requirements, and rate limiting on auth endpoints. Test auth flows as unauthenticated and cross-user to verify access controls.

How to Prevent These Issues

  • Run automated security scans before every deployment
  • Configure database access controls (RLS/Security Rules) first
  • Store all secrets in environment variables, never in code
  • Enable email verification and strong password policies
  • Add security headers to your hosting configuration
  • Review AI-generated code for security before accepting

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common Tempo Labs security issues?

The most common issues are: exposed API keys/secrets, missing database access controls (RLS or Security Rules), weak authentication configuration, and missing security headers. These account for over 80% of vulnerabilities in Tempo Labs applications.

How do I find security issues in my Tempo Labs app?

Run a VAS security scan for automated detection of common vulnerabilities. Manually check: database access controls, search code for hardcoded secrets, verify authentication settings, and test security headers. VAS catches all of these automatically.

Are Tempo Labs security issues fixable?

Yes, nearly all Tempo Labs security issues are configuration problems with straightforward fixes. Missing RLS, exposed secrets, weak auth—all have clear remediation steps. Most fixes take under an hour to implement.

How quickly can Tempo Labs security issues be exploited?

Exposed databases and API keys can be discovered within minutes using automated scanners. Attackers actively scan for common patterns. This is why security configuration must happen before deployment, not after.

Does Tempo Labs have built-in security?

Tempo Labs provides security features, but they require configuration. Security isn't automatic—you must enable database access controls, manage secrets properly, configure auth settings, and add security headers. The tools exist; you must use them.
