Wiz Uncovers Shocking Security Flaw in Base44: Simple Bug, Big Trouble!
Researchers at Wiz uncovered a critical vulnerability in Base44, the vibe coding platform, allowing unauthorized access to private apps and sensitive data. With just basic API knowledge, attackers could exploit this flaw. Wix swiftly patched the issue, and thankfully, no data was compromised before the fix.
Hot Take:
Wiz just gave Wix a wicked wake-up call about Base44’s vibe coding platform. It seems like anyone with a little API knowledge and a penchant for mischief could have walked right into the digital vaults of enterprises using Base44 and made themselves at home. Thankfully, Wix patched things up faster than you can say ‘authentication bypass’. But it does make you wonder – is vibe coding really as chill as it sounds, or is it more like a digital house party with no bouncer at the door?
