Exposed DeepSeek Database Revealed Chat Prompts and Internal Data

Wired  

The Chinese generative artificial intelligence platform DeepSeek has had a meteoric rise this week, stoking rivalries and generating market pressure for United States–based AI companies, which in turn has invited scrutiny of the service. Amid the hype, researchers from the cloud security firm Wiz published findings on Wednesday that show that DeepSeek left one of its critical databases exposed on the internet, leaking system logs, user prompt submissions, and even users’ API authentication tokens—totaling more than 1 million records—to anyone who came across the database. But the Wiz researchers note that the DeepSeek database they found was visible almost immediately with minimal scanning or probing. But this time, “here it was at the front door.” Ohfeld adds that the “technical difficulty of this vulnerability is the bare minimum.” The researchers say that the trove they found appears to have been a type of open source database typically used for server analytics called a ClickHouse database. The researchers say they did the absolute minimum assessment needed to confirm their findings without unnecessarily compromising user privacy, but they speculate that it may even have been possible for a malicious actor to use such deep access to the database to move laterally into other DeepSeek systems and execute code in other parts of the company’s infrastructure.
