UpGuard found more than 16,000 misconfigured Supabase databases exposing readable tables with personally identifiable information, passwords, or authentication tokens, with a very small subset appearing to include credit card data. Supabase is an open-source PostgreSQL development platform, popular with developers using AI tools, which now account for more than 60 percent of newly created databases. UpGuard analyzed about 300,000 domains showing Supabase use and inferred exposed data types from table schemas. More than half of the exposed databases held PII, with a smaller subset exposing passwords and tokens. One US valet service alone exposed over 100,000 customer records, showing how missing access controls turn convenient backends into open data stores.
Security researcher @weezerOSINT disclosed on April 20 that Lovable, the Swedish AI code-generation platform that just raised a $330M Series B at a $6.6B valuation, had a Broken Object Level Authorization flaw letting any free account read another user's project source code, hardcoded database credentials, AI chat transcripts, and customer data - using only five API calls. The /projects/{id}/* endpoints verified Firebase authentication but skipped any ownership check. On April 23 Lovable published a formal incident report admitting the exposure window ran February 3 to April 20, a full 76 days, caused by a backend regression that silently undid a fix shipped in 2025. Every Lovable project created before November 2025 was readable. The researcher demonstrated the impact by pulling source code from Connected Women in AI, a Danish nonprofit with over 3,700 edits in 2026 alone, extracting hardcoded Supabase credentials from that code, then querying the live database to retrieve real names, LinkedIn profiles, and Stripe customer IDs belonging to Accenture Denmark and Copenhagen Business School staff. Lovable's initial public response was to deny a breach occurred and blame its documentation and HackerOne triage partner before eventually apologizing.
