Additionally, a MongoDB instance was identified, potentially holding 3.2 million documents, though it remains unclear if these were also accessible. The findings underscore the risks associated with unprotected database systems, described by Fowler as providing possible backdoors for malicious actors. Following disclosure, YouX acknowledged the exposure and has promised to investigate further for communication and improvement purposes.
