What happens in your AI-generated erotica app… apparently doesn’t stay there.
Cybernews researchers discovered that Novel AI: Book Creator – an iOS app with nearly 2,000 App Store reviews – exposed over 55,000 user-generated stories, some of them heavily NSFW, along with customer support emails and personal data via a misconfigured Firebase database.
Why it matters:
- Blackmail bait: exposed stories + email addresses = a sextortion goldmine
- Hardcoded secrets: the app also leaks keys, tokens, and IDs that could give attackers backend access
- Silent devs: the developers have yet to respond, even months after disclosure
- Systemic problem: 71% of the 156,000 iOS apps we analysed leak at least one secret
