Moltbook, the Social Network for AI Agents, Exposed Real Humans’ Data
Summary
Moltbook, a social network platform for AI agents to interact with each other, had a serious security flaw where a private key (a secret code used to authenticate users) was exposed in its JavaScript code. This exposed thousands of users' email addresses, millions of API credentials (login tokens), and private communications between AI agents, allowing attackers to impersonate any user. The vulnerability is particularly notable because Moltbook's code was entirely written by AI rather than human programmers.
Solution / Mitigation
Moltbook has fixed the security flaw that was discovered by the security firm Wiz.
