Lovable Security Audit
Built your app with Lovable? We find the security issues AI missed.
Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) generates full-stack applications with React frontends and Supabase backends through a conversational interface. It produces visually complete apps quickly and handles a lot of the boilerplate. However, its Supabase configurations frequently ship with security gaps: RLS policies that are too broad, storage buckets with public access, and authentication setups that skip critical checks like email verification.
Common Lovable Security Issues
These are the vulnerabilities we most frequently find in Lovable-generated projects.
Overly permissive Supabase RLS policies
criticalLovable generates RLS policies that use broad conditions like 'auth.role() = authenticated', granting every logged-in user access to every row instead of scoping access to individual users.
Public storage bucket access
criticalFile upload features create Supabase storage buckets with public read/write policies, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files or access private documents.
Missing email verification on signup
highAuthentication flows allow users to sign up and immediately access the full application without verifying their email address, enabling account spam and impersonation.
Sensitive data in Supabase client queries
highBusiness logic that should run in database functions or edge functions is instead executed client-side, exposing query patterns and allowing users to modify the data they fetch.
No input length or type constraints
mediumText fields and form inputs accept unlimited content without validation, which can be exploited for database storage abuse or buffer-based attacks.

Lovable Audit FAQ
Is Lovable code secure?
Lovable generates functional code quickly, but like all AI coding tools, it often prioritises getting things working over security best practices. Common issues include exposed API keys, missing input validation, and insecure database configurations. Our audits specifically target the patterns Lovable tends to produce.
What are common Lovable security issues?
The most frequent issues we find in Lovable projects include: overly permissive supabase rls policies, public storage bucket access, missing email verification on signup. These are well-documented patterns that our audit process specifically checks for.
Do I need an audit for my Lovable app?
If your Lovable app handles user data, payments, or any sensitive information, an audit is strongly recommended before going to production. Even simple apps can have critical vulnerabilities that AI tools introduce without warning. Our Security Scan package is a great starting point.
How long does a Lovable audit take?
Our Security Scan takes 3 business days, the Full Audit takes 7 business days, and the Production Ready package takes 10-12 business days. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your codebase, not which tool generated it.
