Hot Take:

When it comes to Salesforce, it seems the only thing more flexible than their Flexcards are their security settings. With default configurations that are more open than a teenager’s diary, it’s no wonder they’re serving up vulnerability CVEs like hotcakes. Remember folks, security is like a good salsa dance—if you miss a step, you’re going to get stepped on.

Key Points:

  • Salesforce acknowledged five CVEs due to configuration weaknesses mainly in Flexcards and Data Mappers.
  • 16 other flaws were labeled as misconfigurations, leaving the responsibility to customers.
  • The vulnerabilities could lead to data leaks, unauthorized access, and session hijacking.
  • Security weaknesses were linked to Salesforce’s industry clouds, which enable low-code platform development.
  • Admins are urged to enforce field-level security and read AppOmni’s recommendations.
