v0.dev + Supabase Security
v0 generates beautiful UI components, but when you connect them to Supabase, you need to ensure data fetching is secure and RLS is configured.
Why v0 + Supabase?
v0's React components pair naturally with Supabase's client library. Developers often generate UI with v0 and add Supabase for the backend.
Common Vulnerabilities
These are the security issues we find most often in v0 apps using Supabase.
Insecure Data Fetching
Generated components may fetch data without proper authorization checks.
Missing RLS on Connected Tables
Tables queried by v0 components need RLS but often don't have it.
Client-Side Data Exposure
Components may display data that should be filtered server-side.
Form Submission Without Validation
Generated forms may submit directly to Supabase without proper validation.
What We Check for v0 + Supabase
Data Access Patterns
Analyze how components fetch and display data from Supabase.
RLS Verification
Test all connected tables for proper RLS configuration.
Form Security
Check form submissions for validation and authorization.
Client-Side Filtering
Identify data filtering that should happen at the database level.
Quick Security Wins
Apply these fixes right now to improve your security.
Add RLS policies to all tables queried by v0 componentsUse Supabase's auth helpers with generated componentsAdd server-side validation for form submissionsFilter data in RLS policies, not just in component codeTest components as different users to verify access controlThe Bottom Line
v0 + Supabase is a modern stack, but connecting generated components to your database requires security consideration. RLS is essential.

Start Security ScanFrequently Asked Questions
Does v0 generate secure Supabase integration code?
v0 generates UI components, not backend security. When you add Supabase to v0-generated components, the database integration code may fetch data without proper authorization checks. You must add authentication verification and ensure RLS policies are configured.
How should I secure data fetching in v0 components?
Always verify authentication before fetching data: check supabase.auth.getUser() returns a valid user. Don't rely on client-side filtering - use RLS policies to restrict data at the database level. Components should only receive data the user is authorized to see.
Can I trust v0-generated form submissions with Supabase?
v0 forms may submit directly to Supabase without validation. Always add: 1) Client-side validation for UX, 2) RLS policies that validate data ownership on insert, 3) Check constraints or triggers for data integrity. Never trust client-submitted data - validate server-side via RLS.
What's the best practice for v0 + Supabase architecture?
Use v0 for UI generation, but treat database integration as a separate security concern. Define RLS policies first, then connect v0 components. Test each component with different user roles to verify access control works correctly.
