A series of critical vulnerabilities across multiple internal Intel websites enabled the complete exfiltration of the company’s global employee database (270,000+ records) and unauthorized access to confidential supplier information, including NDAs. The flaws—stemming from client-side authentication bypasses, hardcoded credentials (e.g., weak AES key '1234567890123456'), lack of server-side validation, and fabricated token acceptance (e.g., 'Not Autorized')—were exploited via four distinct pathways. Key breaches included: - Intel India’s business card ordering site: Bypassed Azure login via JavaScript modification, exposing an unauthenticated API that returned a 1GB JSON file with employee names, roles, managers, phone numbers, and mailbox addresses. - Product Hierarchy site: Hardcoded, easily decrypted credentials granted backend access to the same employee database. - Product Onboarding site: Contained hardcoded API keys and a GitHub personal access token, risking further supply chain compromise. - Supplier EHS IP Management System (SEIMS): Token validation bypass allowed administrative access to supplier NDAs and IP data. Intel remediated the vulnerabilities post-disclosure (October 2024), but the incident highlights systemic security oversights. While no SSNs or salaries were exposed, the mass PII breach of employees and partners poses severe reputational, operational, and compliance risks.
