What security issues do Tempo Labs apps have?
Get instant answers about your app's security.
Short Answer
The security issues specific to Tempo Labs apps are client-side data exposure, insecure api integration, missing input validation. These aren't generic — they map to how Tempo Labs deploys and what stack it leans on.
Detailed Answer
The specific issues we find in Tempo Labs apps
- **Client-Side Data Exposure** — Generated React components may store sensitive data in client state or local storage where it's accessible to attackers.
2. **Insecure API Integration** — Visual-to-code generation may create API calls without proper authentication headers or error handling.
3. **Missing Input Validation** — Generated form components often prioritize design over security, skipping validation and sanitization.
4. **Unprotected Data Fetching** — Auto-generated useEffect hooks and data fetchers may expose backend APIs without rate limiting or auth.
Why these are the issues specific to Tempo Labs
Tempo Labs apps ship with a recognizable stack (supabase, firebase, postgres). The issue list above is what appears when you scan that specific combination. A Firebase-backed app would have a different top-5; a self-hosted Postgres deployment would have yet another. Context is everything.
What VAS checks in a Tempo Labs scan
- **Component Audit** — Check generated React components for data exposure patterns.
- **Secrets Scan** — Detect API keys and credentials in generated component code.
- **Auth Testing** — Verify authentication on all generated data-fetching routes.
- **Input Validation** — Test generated forms for injection and validation gaps.

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.”
“Vibe coding your way to a production codebase is clearly risky. Most of the work we do as software engineers involves evolving existing systems, where the quality and understandability of the underlying code is crucial.”

Which Tempo Labs security issue is most dangerous?
Client-Side Data Exposure. Generated React components may store sensitive data in client state or local storage where it's accessible to attackers. This is the highest-impact finding because it tends to expose the full dataset or grant lateral movement in one step.
Are these issues unique to Tempo Labs, or do they appear across platforms?
The patterns overlap with lovable, bolt, v0 — all vibe-coding platforms share the "AI-generated code prioritizes functionality over security" problem. But the *specific manifestation* differs per platform. An exposed Supabase anon key is structurally different from an exposed Firebase config, which is different from an exposed Postgres connection string. The right scan is platform-aware.
How do I see which of these issues my Tempo Labs app has?
Run a VAS scan against your deployed Tempo Labs app URL. It checks every issue in the list above, confirms each by actually probing (not just reading headers), and prioritizes by severity with copy-paste fixes. Most Tempo Labs app scans return results in 2–3 minutes.
