The Pulse: Grok’s CLI caught uploading all your local files to the cloud
Read OriginalThis article reports that xAI's Grok Build coding CLI uploads users' local files, including .env secrets and entire git repositories, to xAI's cloud storage (grok-code-session-traces GCS bucket) by default. The upload occurs even when the agent is instructed not to read files, and disabling 'Improve the model' does not stop it. The findings are documented by an independent researcher, highlighting potential privacy and security risks for developers using the tool.
