Top Android AI photo and video editor exposes nearly two million user images and videos

• Cybernews found misconfigured database in “Video AI Art Generator & Maker” app
• Leak exposed 8.27m media files, including 2m private user photos and videos
• Developers secured database after disclosure; similar flaws seen in another Codeway app

Yet another misconfigured database leaking sensitive user data was found, but this one is even more worrying since the data being leaked is - user-uploaded photos and videos.

Researchers from Cybernews recently discovered an Android app called “Video AI Art Generator & Maker” contained a misconfigured Google Cloud storage bucket which was accessible to anyone who knew where to look.

In total, more than 1.5 million user images, and more than 385,000 videos were stored in the bucket. Furthermore, it stored more than 2.87 million AI-generated videos, more than 386,000 AI-generated audio files, and more than 2.87 million AI-generated images.
