I Audited 11,026 Bubble Apps for Security, Here's What I Found

ankur1 · Bubble Forum Free Intermediate

Nothing makes the risk concrete like real numbers, and this audit of over 11,000 live Bubble apps found that most of them leak. Roughly 13 percent exposed user records through an open Data API, and 79 percent had privacy rule gaps totaling hundreds of millions of records. Read it as a checklist of the exact mistakes other founders shipped so you do not repeat them.

  • Most audited apps had at least one data type with no privacy rule
  • Millions of user records were readable without any login
  • Nearly a third leaked an API key or secret into the browser
