AI-Generated Code's Security Flaw: Lovable's 'Vibe Coding' Vulnerability

Lovable, a platform using AI to rapidly generate code, has exposed a significant security vulnerability due to its simplified database connection method. Users can directly connect to Supabase databases, and improper configuration of access controls has led to the exposure of personal information. While Lovable introduced a security scan, it only checks if Supabase access controls are enabled, not whether they're correctly configured. Security experts suggest avoiding direct user database access. The Lovable incident highlights the security challenges posed by AI code generation tools; even flawless code can be dangerously implemented.
