Over 35,000 Grok-Built Apps Exposed Online, Some Leaking Confidential Data and Passwords

Security researchers at Claroc discovered over 35,000 Grok-built apps exposed online, with the majority being accessible without a sign-in. The exposed apps include some built by staff at the social network X and at SpaceXSI, the company behind the Grok AI assistant. Most of the open apps are relatively simple, such as games, landing pages, and calculators. However, a significant portion, approximately 1 in 10, contain sensitive internal business information. Some of these apps may be leaking confidential data and passwords. The total number of exposed Grok-built apps found by Claroc is 37,571.
