Latest update (11-11 07:53): Grok-built apps exposed patient records and SpaceXSI's sales data

Overview: Security firm Claroc reports that Grok Build's share links can be enumerated, exposing data from live projects built by thousands of users, according to Ars Technica. The exposed material includes internal business plans, ad proposals, medical exam results, and employee names and ID numbers.

Claroc says 35,578 of 37,571 still-online apps built with Grok Build's Build mode were open to anyone with the link, because the default setting is "Anyone with the link" and app addresses appear in searchable DNS records. The Decoder reports that the exposed data includes patient records, plaintext passwords, and SpaceXSI's own sales documents. Claroc found 24 apps built by SpaceXSI itself among the leaked projects, including an onboarding plan and a sales territory map of 594 accounts.

SpaceXSI says apps are private until shared and has taken the 24 employee apps offline, but has not removed the other open apps.
