Know the risks before you deploy. Understanding Lovable security vulnerabilities is the first step to building secure applications.
Instant results. See which risks apply to you.
Every platform has security risks—the key is understanding them. Lovable applications face specific vulnerabilities that, if left unaddressed, can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage. This guide covers the real risks and practical mitigations.
Supabase tables without Row Level Security can be queried by anyone with the public anon key.
CVE-2025-48757: 170+ Lovable apps had exposed databases discovered and reported.
Enable RLS on all tables and write policies that verify auth.uid() matches data ownership.
OpenAI, Stripe, and other API keys hardcoded in frontend code are easily extracted.
Attackers routinely scan JS files for patterns like 'sk-' and 'sk_live_'.
Move all secrets to server-side functions. Use Supabase Edge Functions for API calls.
Missing email verification and weak passwords enable account compromise.
Enable email verification, enforce password requirements, add rate limiting.
Even if RLS exists, overly permissive policies allow cross-user data modification.
Audit policies to ensure proper ownership checks on all CRUD operations.
Without CSP and other headers, injected scripts can steal sessions and data.
Configure security headers in hosting platform (Vercel, Netlify).
RLS misconfiguration exposes all user records
Exposed keys lead to financial abuse
Payment data and customer info at risk
May have sensitive business data
Limited sensitive data, but still teaches bad habits
Most Lovable security risks are preventable with proper configuration. The majority of vulnerabilities we find are not complex exploits—they're missing settings and exposed credentials that automated scanning catches instantly.
Stop guessing. Run a free scan to see which Lovable security risks actually affect your app.
Scan Your App FreeThe most critical Lovable risks are: exposed credentials/API keys, missing database access controls, and weak authentication. These account for the majority of real-world breaches in Lovable applications.
If your app is public on the internet, it's being scanned constantly. Automated tools probe for common vulnerabilities within minutes of deployment. The question isn't if you'll be scanned, but whether attackers will find anything exploitable.
Yes, with proper security configuration. Lovable provides the tools for secure applications—you need to use them correctly. Configure access controls, manage secrets properly, add security headers, and scan before launch.
Start with a security scan to identify current vulnerabilities. Then: 1) Fix critical issues first (exposed secrets, missing access controls), 2) Enable email verification and strong passwords, 3) Add security headers, 4) Set up continuous scanning.
The core risks are similar across vibe coding platforms—they all have exposed secrets, missing access controls, and auth weaknesses. Lovable-specific risks relate to its particular tech stack and default configurations.
Based on the CVE-2025-48757 research, at least 170 apps had critical RLS misconfigurations. Our scans suggest the majority of unreviewed Lovable apps have at least one security issue, typically missing RLS or exposed API keys.
