Lovable Rescue

Your Lovable app works in the editor and breaks everywhere else

Lovable generates a React front end on Supabase, which means almost every serious problem lives in the database policy layer rather than in the code you can see.

Why Lovable apps break in production

Lovable apps most often fail on Supabase row-level security, keys exposed to the browser, and authentication that checks the front end but never the API. Foundreco audits a Lovable project in 72 hours, ranks every finding by severity, and quotes one fixed price to make it production-ready, starting at $1,500.

Symptoms specific to Lovable

Users can see other users’ records
The app loads but data never saves
It works in the Lovable preview and breaks on your own domain
Credits run out while the AI loops on the same error
Supabase throws policy or permission errors you cannot read
Stripe takes the payment but nothing unlocks

What actually breaks in Lovable projects

Row-level security left off

Supabase ships RLS disabled, and Lovable projects frequently never turn it on. Any signed-in user can then read every row in a table, including other customers’ data. This was serious enough to receive its own advisory, CVE-2025-48757, covering Lovable projects with missing or misconfigured RLS.

The anon key doing an admin’s job

Because the Supabase anon key is safe to expose, it gets used for everything — including writes that should never be client-side. The key is not the vulnerability; the missing policy behind it is.

Auth that only guards the interface

The app hides a page when you are logged out, while the underlying Supabase table still answers anyone who queries it directly.

Edge functions without validation

Generated functions trust whatever the client sends, so prices, user IDs and quantities can be rewritten in the browser before they reach the database.

Can you take your Lovable code with you?

Lovable projects can be pushed to a GitHub repository you own, and the Supabase project is already yours. That means a rescue does not require rebuilding — the code moves to your repo, gets hardened there, and deploys wherever you choose.

What happens next

Send the Lovable project link and the audit comes back inside 72 hours, severity-ranked, with one fixed price from $1,500 to approve or walk away from. If it should be rebuilt rather than repaired the audit says so, and the fee comes off the rebuild. The six steps and the rescue-or-rebuild table are on the rescue hub; every price is on the pricing page.

Rescue for other builders

Lovable questions founders ask

Why does my Lovable app work in the editor but break in production?
The Lovable preview runs with a session and configuration the AI set up for you. Your own deployment does not inherit those. Environment variables, Supabase URLs, redirect URLs and auth callbacks all have to be set explicitly, and a generated app rarely documents which ones it depends on.
Can I export my Lovable code and host it myself?
Lovable projects can be pushed to a GitHub repository you own, and the Supabase project is already yours. That means a rescue does not require rebuilding — the code moves to your repo, gets hardened there, and deploys wherever you choose.
How much does it cost to fix a Lovable app?
From $1,500 at Foundreco, quoted as one fixed price after a 72-hour audit rather than billed hourly.
Is my Lovable app secure?
Assume not until it has been checked. In Lovable projects specifically, the three findings that come up most are row-level security disabled, policies written so loosely that they allow everything, and edge functions that trust client input. All three are invisible from the front end.
Should I fix my Lovable app or rebuild it?
The audit answers it directly, measured against the decision table on the rescue hub.
