Among other issues, the music platform didn’t limit the number of login attempts someone could make.
Online music platform SoundCloud, which can be thought of as an audio-based YouTube for music creators, has addressed several security bugs in its APIs that could lead to denial-of-service (DoS) or account takeover via credential-stuffing.
SoundCloud recently sold a $75 million stake to satellite radio giant SiriusXM and the two also inked a lucrative ad deal. SoundCloud claims to host 200 million different music tracks on its online platform.
According to researcher Paulo Silva of Checkmarx Security Research, three different groups of security vulnerabilities were found in the platform: A authentication issue which could lead to account takeover; a rate-limiting bug that could lead to DoS; and an improper input validation.
