Artificial Intelligence: Security Experts Discover Data Gap in Popular AI Coding Platform
Lovable builds over a million websites and apps every week. An exclusive analysis shows how sensitive data can be accessed on Lovable sites. According to Lovable, this is an industry-wide problem.
Berlin - Popular artificial intelligence (AI) web service provider Lovable has revealed a security issue affecting tens of thousands of websites built using its platform, according to IT security experts who have analyzed the situation exclusively for the Handelsblatt newspaper. The experts claim that sensitive user data is inadvertently accessible on Lovable's platform, which promises users without programming skills the ability to build their own app or website with just a text command to the company's Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The company claims that it has implemented over 50 million projects using its AI, with 1.2 million added each week. Many users have built their entire business around the Lovable app. The experts say that data thieves could have had access to sensitive user data on the platform for at least a year. The Handelsblatt received information about the security issue in mid-August, investigated it, and confronted Lovable with the problem. Further research shows that the issue extends beyond the individual service provider.
