Security Considerations — Flask Documentation (3.1.x)
In Flask 0.10 and lower, jsonify() did not serialize top-level arrays to JSON. This was because of a security vulnerability in ECMAScript 4.

API — Flask-Security 5.8.0 documentation
That is controlled by Flask and starting with Flask 2.2 that is managed by sub-classing Flask::JSONProvider. Flask-Security does this to add serializing lazy-strings. This can be used by applications to unify all their JSON API responses. This is called in a request context and should return a Response or something Flask can create a Response from.

r/flask on Reddit: The Right Gatekeepers: How to secure your Flask app with Flask-Security
November 21, 2025 -
This week I wrote a new tutorial for the publication, "Python in Plain English" on how to secure your Flask Admin dashboard with Flask-Security.
There were quite a few steps involved in making Flask Admin and Flask Security work well together. This included having to downgrade to Flask-Security-Too version 4.1.5. Let me know in the comments what you think. I am also using Flask-Admin 1.6.1

Flask-Security is now deprecated, so I wouldn't recommend using it in production. There is a fork of it called Flask Security Too but it doesn't seem very widely followed.
To be honest even when it was maintained it wasn't my favourite as I think it tried to do too much.
Flask-Login on the other hand is a solid library. It is very "flasky" in the sense that it is low level and deals with the really annoying stuff (creating a session, persisting it with cookies, delivering a current_user, putting certain routes behind a login_required decorator) and then letting you design your own flow and pull in the libraries you want.
For instance if you want social login or OAuth token storage then Flask-Dance, which integrates nicely with Flask-Login and is actively maintained, smashes Flask-Social which integrates with Flask-Security.
There is also Flask-User, which gets good reviews but last commit was in 2019, which is a little scary.

Flask-Security-Too, while it can be complex if you try to use all of its features, proves to actually be pretty easy to set up production-ready applications. It is actively maintained. I have a few working projects in production using this library (v4.x.x). Not too long ago, there has been a v5.x.x release as well.
You should definitely check that out.
