I built a typical AI-generated app and scanned it. It had 5 critical security holes before I touched a line of code.

A 5-minute guide to checking whether your Lovable / Bolt / Replit app is leaking your users' data, and why it probably is. I've been fixing apps built with AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Cursor, and the same handful of serious security holes shows up in almost every one.
