No need to hack when it’s leaking: Rapido edition

Posted on December 21, 2024 by Dissent

Jagmeet Singh reports:

Rapido, a popular ride-hailing platform in India, has fixed a security issue that exposed personal information associated with its users and drivers, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.

The flaw, discovered by security researcher Renganathan P, was related to a website form meant to collect feedback from Rapido auto-rickshaw users and drivers. The form exposed the full names, email addresses, and phone numbers of individuals, which TechCrunch has seen based on the details provided by the researcher.

The researcher told TechCrunch that the exposed data pertained to one of Rapido’s APIs, which was meant to collect and share information from the feedback form with a third-party service used by Rapido.
