Grok Build Exposes Thousands of User Projects, Including 24 SpaceXSI Apps

3 articles · Updated · Ars Technica · Nov 10

Summary

  • Thousands of Grok Build projects were accessible through share links, exposing proprietary business files, medical exam results, employee IDs and other sensitive data, according to security firm Claroc.
  • A developer design choice let outsiders enumerate supposedly randomized URLs, defeating the platform’s main safeguard and opening app data to anyone with the exact link.
  • Claroc said 24 exposed apps belonged to SpaceXSI itself, including a confidential onboarding plan, a sales territory map covering 594 accounts, internal tool addresses and ad proposals.
  • Sunday’s disclosure to SpaceXSI initially drew no response; after media questions, the company removed those 24 links, though Claroc said almost all other exposed data was still available when the report was published.
