Appthority published a report highlighting newly discovered vulnerabilities between mobile apps and insecure backend databases containing enterprise data, which is caused by the failure to properly secure backend servers with firewalls and authentication. Couchbase was initially mentioned in the report as having exposed vulnerabilities, but it was later corrected after researchers realized they had mistakenly included CouchDB hosting providers instead of actual Couchbase servers. However, Couchbase has built-in security features such as pluggable authentication, fine-grained policy tools for controlling data access, and encryption to manage decentralized data storage and transport concerns. The company's mobile solution, Couchbase Mobile, resolves these security risks by allowing secure storage, access, synchronization, and security across various devices and platforms.
