Artificial intelligence: Security experts find data gap in popular AI coding platform

Berlin. The popular AI website service provider Lovable has a security problem. Sensitive user data is apparently openly accessible on tens of thousands of websites built with the platform. This is shown by analyzes by IT security experts, which are available exclusively to Handelsblatt.

Lovable promises users without programming knowledge that they can build their own app or website with just a text command to their artificial intelligence (AI). According to the company, more than 50 million projects have already been implemented, with 1.2 million being added every week. Many users build their entire business on their Lovable app.

Data thieves could have used the security gap to gain access to sensitive data from Lovable users for at least a year. In mid-August, Handelsblatt received information about the security problem, checked it and confronted Lovable about it. Further research shows: The problem goes beyond the individual service provider.
