Oh, Joy. More Security Shite.

Right, listen up you lot. Some security firm – Wiz, apparently – found a gaping hole in Base44, this AI-powered coding platform thingy. It’s not just a hole, it’s a full-blown access bypass. Meaning anyone with even half a brain could waltz right into your systems if you use this bloody service.

Apparently, the flaw stems from how Base44 handles API keys. They were letting users’ keys be accessed by other users. Seriously? You’re trusting AI to write code and then handing out the keys to the kingdom like candy? It’s a disaster waiting to happen, and surprise, it *did* happen.

They say they fixed it, naturally. After someone actually found the problem. The article drones on about how “critical” this was – no shit, Sherlock! They’re claiming limited exposure but honestly, who knows? Assume you’ve been compromised if you use Base44 and get your systems checked. And maybe rethink using anything AI-powered until they figure out basic security.

The worst part? It affects the whole platform. So all those fancy features are now suspect. Fantastic. Just what we needed, more insecure crap clogging up the internet.

Don’t ask me why anyone thought this was a good idea in the first place. I swear, some developers just don’t think.

Speaking of API keys, I once had a sysadmin who stored all the production database passwords in a text file named “passwords.txt” on the shared network drive. Unencrypted. He thought it was “convenient.” Convenient for *who*, exactly? The script kiddies? I swear, some people are actively trying to get hacked. It’s infuriating.
