Wiz Research Uncovers Exposed DeepSeek Database Leaking Sensitive Information, Including Chat History

Wiz Research identified a publicly accessible DeepSeek database that permitted unrestricted database operations and exposed over one million lines of log streams containing sensitive information. The misconfiguration granted full control to unauthenticated users, enabling access to internal data and chat history.

Why it matters: DeepSeek users and the company face disclosure of private conversations and operational logs; practitioners should assess whether sensitive data was processed through DeepSeek and review data retention policies.
