Security FAQ

What vulnerabilities are found in Framer apps?

Get instant answers about your app's security.

Short Answer

Framer app scans surface the same cluster of vulnerabilities repeatedly: cms collection visibility, code override security, third. The pattern is stable across Framer versions.

Detailed Answer

The vulnerabilities actually found in Framer apps

Not theoretical OWASP categories — specifically what appears when vas, security researchers, and bug bounty hunters look at live Framer deployments:

  1. **[MEDIUM]** **CMS collection visibility** *(medium likelihood)*

A common failure mode in Framer applications: cms collection visibility. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse.

*Fix:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.

2. **[MEDIUM]** **Code override security** *(medium likelihood)*

A common failure mode in Framer applications: code override security. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse.

*Fix:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.

3. **[MEDIUM]** **Third** *(medium likelihood)*

party script risks

*Fix:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.

4. **[MEDIUM]** **Form handling security** *(medium likelihood)*

A common failure mode in Framer applications: form handling security. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse.

*Fix:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.

Distribution by severity

Of the findings above, 0 sit at critical impact (full data exposure), 0 at high (significant data or account compromise), and the rest are medium-or-lower (attack surface expansion). A first-scan Framer app typically has 2–4 findings from this list live at any moment.

How to know which ones are in your app

Run a vas scan. Each finding above is tested directly — we query your database to verify access controls are active, scan bundles for key patterns, probe auth endpoints for rate limiting, and check security headers in live responses. Output is a per-finding report with evidence and fix.

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.

More Questions About This Topic

How severe are the vulnerabilities typically found in Framer apps?

Framer apps lean critical: CMS collection visibility alone can expose the full user dataset in one query. Compare to e.g. missing security headers (medium) which require additional exploitation. Triage accordingly: critical findings are measured in minutes-to-breach, mediums in weeks.

How do I fix vulnerabilities once they're found in my Framer app?

Each finding comes with a specific fix. Example: for "CMS collection visibility" → Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations. vas exports these as markdown you can feed directly into Framer's AI (or any other AI assistant) to apply the fix in-place. Re-scan afterward to confirm.

Can vulnerabilities in Framer apps be exploited by a non-expert attacker?

Most can. Extracting an exposed API key is a single "view source" operation. Querying a table without RLS is a `curl` command. Exploiting missing rate limiting requires scripting skills equivalent to "follow a tutorial." Only a handful of the findings above (e.g., chained auth bypass) require specialist knowledge — the rest are routinely exploited by automated scanners with zero human involvement.
