Is the Replit Database secure?

Replit Database is a simple key-value store accessible via an environment variable URL within your Repl. The database URL acts as both the connection string and the authentication mechanism, so anyone with the URL has full read-write access. There is no built-in support for access control, encryption at rest, or query parameterization to prevent injection attacks. If the database URL is accidentally exposed through logs, error messages, or client-side code, all stored data is compromised. UNPWNED scans for exposed database credentials and insecure data storage patterns in Replit applications.
