Researchers identified over 16,000 Supabase databases with publicly readable tables and exposed PII through misconfiguration vulnerabilities. The issue stems from improper Row Level Security policies, overly permissive access controls, and incorrect API exposure rather than a platform vulnerability. More than half of affected databases showed schema indicators suggesting personally identifiable information exposure.

UpGuard discovered approximately 16,000 Supabase-hosted databases publicly exposing sensitive personal data. The exposure stems from misconfigured Row Level Security (RLS) settings and improper access controls, allowing unauthorized public access to live database tables. Many databases were created by AI coding tools that skip RLS by default, leaving customer data accessible without authentication.

CVE-2025-48757 documents widespread Row Level Security misconfiguration in Supabase projects created by Lovable. A scan of 1,645 live projects found 170+ (approximately 1 in 10) had RLS disabled, exposing user data. The vulnerability scored 9.3 on the CVSS scale. Additionally, an April 2026 Lovable incident exposed users' project source code, database credentials, and chat history due to similar authorization flaws.
