Wix

A severe authentication bypass vulnerability in Base44, a popular AI-powered vibe coding platform recently acquired by Wix, exposed private enterprise applications and sensitive corporate data to unauthorized access. The flaw allowed attackers to exploit undocumented API endpoints, bypassing authentication controls, including Single Sign-On (SSO) protections. While the vulnerability was patched within 24 hours, it highlighted significant security concerns in AI development ecosystems. Enterprise applications, including internal chatbots, knowledge bases, and HR systems containing personally identifiable information (PII), were at risk. Although no evidence of malicious exploitation was found, the incident underscored the need for robust security measures in shared cloud environments.
