A recent CloudSEK BeVigil scan of a global semiconductor technology company uncovered major API security lapses. Publicly exposed Swagger documentation and Postman workspaces revealed sensitive API endpoints and even authentication tokens—offering attackers a clear path into internal systems. The audit also flagged outdated SAP components with known vulnerabilities. These oversights could enable impersonation, unauthorized access, or denial-of-service attacks. The case underscores how exposed developer tools can become serious threats. This blog breaks down the findings, the risks involved, and simple actions every organization can take to avoid similar mistakes. Don’t miss this critical wake-up call for high-tech manufacturers.

Mobile applications are vital for businesses but often come with hidden security risks. This blog highlights how BeVigil’s Mobile App Scanner uncovered a major vulnerability in a widely-used Android app, exposing hardcoded Salesforce API keys and tokens. These credentials could have granted unauthorized access to sensitive data, posing a serious security threat. BeVigil’s assessment detected and mitigated these risks by revoking exposed keys, securing API access, and implementing stricter access controls. This case emphasizes the need for proactive security measures, regular audits, and secure coding practices to safeguard digital assets and maintain customer trust.
