Grok apps expose patient data and SpaceXSI sales pipeline

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A security firm, Claroc, discovered that over 35,000 applications built using Grok have been left accessible to the public without any login requirements. These exposed applications contained sensitive information such as patient data and SpaceXSI's internal sales pipeline. The vulnerability stemmed from the default setting of "Anyone with the link" being preselected for access. While SpaceXSI has taken its own 24 employee-facing applications offline, the majority of the affected applications remain publicly accessible. AI
