Lovable + Supabase: security risks to self-check before launch

Quick answer: A short hub of the most common Lovable/Supabase failure patterns — RLS, ownership, and secrets in the client — with links to defensive self-checks. Waitlist only; no scanning product yet.

Last updated October 15, 2026

Steps

  1. Confirm RLS is enabled and policies exist on every table with user data.
  2. As a second test user, try fetching another user's row id (ownership / IDOR check).
  3. Search your own production JS for sk-, service_role and third-party secrets; rotate anything you find.
  4. Verify API routes check the session and owner before returning data.
  5. Join the VibeRescue waitlist if you want a future check on an app you own.

Top risks to review

  • Row Level Security disabled on Supabase tables
  • RLS or auth present, but no ownership check (IDOR)
  • API secret keys shipped in your frontend bundle
  • Third-party secret keys (OpenAI, Stripe, Resend) in client JS
  • API routes with no auth check
  • User uploads in a public bucket
