Are AI App Builders Secure? We Tested Lovable, Base44, and Bolt to Find Out

We asked Lovable, Base44, and Bolt to build a simple app. What we found reveals a critical gap between the platforms' promise to democratize software development - and the security they actually deliver.

The Billion-Dollar Promise

AI app builders are the industry’s hottest trend, backed by massive funding and a bold promise: anyone can build production apps in minutes – no coding required.

But when platforms market themselves to non-technical users and promise to “handle the technical implementation securely” – do they deliver?

We tested three leading platforms to find out

What We Discovered

All three platforms failed our basic security test

A simple prompt revealed fundamental flaws in how these tools generate code

Built-in security features aren't enough

Detection was inconsistent, incomplete, or missing entirely

Even adding the ask for a 'secure' app didn't solve the problem

Non-technical users – the target audience – face an impossible challenge

There's an accountability gap

When AI generates vulnerable code, who's responsible?
