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 The audit also flagged outdated SAP components with known vulnerabilities.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.
