Visual AI app builder
Tempo lets you build React apps visually with AI assistance. It generates component trees and styling rapidly, but security concerns mirror other AI builders — missing auth guards, insecure data fetching, and exposed configuration.
Visually designed pages often lack authentication checks, exposing admin panels.
Wrap protected routes with auth guards. Check permissions before rendering.
Data access control is implemented in the UI layer rather than the API/database layer.
Always enforce access control server-side. Client-side filtering is for UX only.
Generated API calls may send credentials in query parameters or lack HTTPS.
Send credentials in headers only. Always use HTTPS endpoints.
Route parameters are passed directly to components without validation.
Validate and sanitize all URL parameters before using in components.
Build configuration and API endpoints are visible in the client bundle.
Move sensitive configuration to server-side environment variables.
Visual builders make it easy to forget about auth — always add route guards manually.
Don't rely on hiding UI elements for security — enforce access control on the server.
