Others had only trivial barriers to that access, such as requiring that a visitor sign in with any email address

my company made one of these AI apps, and when I signed up I realized there was no email verification.

so, I made a fake user, with fake credentials, and an email that doesn't even exist, and it worked. oh, and it has default editing permissions, so I was able to change data in it.

it won't allow the use of an email outside of the company domain, but here's the kicker: there's a pop-up notification that tells you what domain to use.

it's been 3 weeks, and it hasn't been deleted yet.

Hmm

Wix, wrote in a statement that “Base44 provides users with robust tools to configure their own applications' security, including access controls and visibility settings.” She added that “disabling those controls is a deliberate, straightforward action, any user can do it

Yeah, people are stupid so i believe this

Archived version?

Edit: asking in part because Wired always gives me the "you're out of free articles!" message, but also this link throws a 403 at the mo.

Someone posted a fixed link and it opens just fine in a browser with good ad blocking.
