Summary

Lovable is a platform that allows users to create apps without coding by merely describing their ideas, but emphasizes the importance of security, especially when handling sensitive data. To ensure app security, Lovable includes features like Security Scan, which automatically checks for issues before publication, and integrates Supabase's Security Advisor to highlight potential data exposure risks. Additionally, the platform offers a Security Reviewer powered by AI to analyze apps for vulnerabilities such as database security problems, code injection, and authentication issues, providing specific suggestions for fixes. To address the risk of hardcoding API secrets, Lovable has implemented Automatic API Key Protection, blocking the insertion of private keys directly into the code and encouraging secure storage within Supabase. While security cannot be guaranteed to be flawless, these tools aim to catch common problems and support users in building safer applications.
