Critical vulnerability in AI coding platform Base44 allowing unauthorized access


New discovery underscores security implications of AI-powered development and the rise of Vibe Coding Platforms.

Wiz Research has identified a critical vulnerability affecting the popular vibe coding platform Base44 ( recently acquired by Wix following an amazingly rapid rise) which allowed unauthorized access to private applications built by its users. The rapid enterprise adoption of these platforms for critical functions - handling sensitive data through internal chatbots, automations, and business tools - is precisely why we decided to focus our research efforts on this emerging attack surface. During our research we managed to confirm authentication bypass was available across several enterprise applications that utilized the popular vibe coding platform for internal chatbots, knowledge bases, PII & HR operations - significant sensitive data that could have been leaked to unauthorized attackers.
