Grok Build agent leaks sensitive data from SpaceXSI and other users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A security vulnerability in SpaceXSI's Grok Build coding agent has led to the exposure of sensitive data from thousands of users, including internal documents from SpaceXSI itself. The flaw stems from how Grok Build generates shareable links, making it possible for unauthorized individuals to discover and access these links through passive DNS services. Researchers at Claroc discovered the issue and reported that exposed data included onboarding plans, sales maps, advertising proposals, and even medical information from various organizations, some of which were Fortune 500 companies.
