CVE-2025-48757Known exploitationNetwork attack vector

Unauthorized database access via insufficient row-level security

Published May 30, 2025 · Updated Aug 21, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Lovable through 2025-04-15 allows remote attackers to read or write generated-site database tables. Lovable-generated frontends expose public database REST endpoints and an anon key, while missing or insufficient RLS policies fail to enforce intended table access. An external database with affected tables must be reachable without authentication; Lovable disputes platform responsibility because customers accept responsibility for application data protection.
