How secure is Bubble?
Get instant answers about your app's security.
Short Answer
Bubble's platform layer has no known systemic vulnerabilities, but Bubble apps regularly ship with misconfigurations that leave user data exposed. Platform security ≠ app security.
Detailed Answer
What Bubble gives you out of the box
Bubble enables powerful no-code application development. Its visual nature can obscure security settings that require careful configuration.
What Bubble leaves to you
VAS scans your Bubble application to find exposed API workflows, misconfigured privacy rules, and other vulnerabilities.
The security gaps that actually appear in Bubble apps
- **Missing Privacy Rules** — Data types without privacy rules expose all data to all users.
2. **Public API Workflows** — API workflows are public by default—anyone can call them.
3. **Plugin Security Risks** — Third-party plugins have access to your data with varying security.
Platform security is strong where Bubble controls the stack. The gaps above all sit in the application layer — where Bubble's guarantees end and yours begin.
Verdict
Bubble can be run securely. Treat "is Bubble secure" as a deployment-time question, not a platform question: run a security scan, verify database access controls are configured, and close the specific gaps above. Platforms with better defaults (e.g. enforced database access controls) would reduce the work — but none of them make scanning unnecessary.

Expert Perspectives
“There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”
“It's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.”

Is Bubble secure enough for production?
Yes — once verified. The platform layer handles infrastructure reliably; the application layer (access controls, secrets, auth) is where production readiness is won or lost. Verification is a scan + manual review of database access controls, not a vibe check.
What percentage of Bubble apps have security issues before review?
Based on the breaches we track and community reporting, the majority of Bubble apps deployed without a pre-launch scan have at least one critical or high-severity finding. The #1 recurring finding is "Missing Privacy Rules". This is not unique to Bubble — it's the base rate for AI-assisted development — but it means the default state of a shipped Bubble app is "unverified."
Does Bubble itself have security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001)?
Platform certifications from Bubble apply to the Bubble infrastructure — not to your app built with Bubble. Even if Bubble is SOC 2-compliant, your app can still leak data through misconfigured database access controls, exposed secrets, or missing access checks. Compliance for your app is a separate effort; the platform's certifications are necessary but never sufficient.
