CloudQix hosted its first Security Hackathon (May 17-19). The goal was simple: open our no-code integration platform to outside testers and invite them to challenge its security assumptions before public launch. 

We’d like to thank everyone who participated. The creativity and professionalism of the security community were on full display, and the feedback we received helped us strengthen the platform ahead of release. 

Summary of CloudQix Findings 

  • Multiple valid submissions were reviewed by our engineering team 
  • Issues ranged from low to high severity, including access control validation, input handling, and interface behaviors 
  • The most critical item, related to authorization logic, has already been resolved 
  • Additional improvements have been made to hardening, input validation, and UI responses based on the findings 

What CloudQix Is Doing Next 

  • Fixing all Medium and High Impact issues before the Early Access launch 
  • High-impact vulnerabilities have already been patched 
  • Medium and low-priority issues are being addressed in the current sprint 
  • Internal security controls and review processes are being updated to reflect what we learned during the event 

CloudQix Acknowledgments

We want to specifically recognize Charles DeBord and Tarek Soufi for their standout contributions. Both submitted well-documented, high-impact findings that led directly to platform improvements. 

Thank you again to everyone who participated. Events like this help us build a more secure product and reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement.

Ahead of their public launch, CloudQix opened its no-code software integration platform to the cybersecurity community with the inaugural CloudQix Security Hackathon.  

From May 17–19, participants attempted to find vulnerabilities on the CloudQix platform in the hopes of taking home cash prizes. Hackers submitted everything from standard attack patterns to specialized attacks attempting to penetrate access control validation, protocols, data security, authentication/SSO, interface behaviors, and a variety of other attacks. Submissions were graded on severit,y with special points awarded for creativity. 

“Congrats to our Hackathon winners, we had a great group of cybersecurity enthusiasts and enjoyed watching them try a variety of unique attacks on the platform,” said founder, David Potts, “We’ll use the information to continue our security hardening as we prepare for launch. Stay tuned for news on the next Hackathon and let us know if you’re interested in participating.”   

The top-awarded submissions were found by competitors Charles D. and Tarek S. Beyond the hackathon competition, CloudQix will invite participants to collaborate further with early access to the platform and a spot in the exclusive Founders Test Flight Group. This group will play a key role in shaping the future of CloudQix in partnership with their team. 

By welcoming the security community into their process early, CloudQix aims to reaffirm a core belief that the strongest platforms are the ones that have been challenged, questioned, and pressure-tested by those who know where to push.  

What is CloudQix?

CloudQix is a next-gen, no-code Software Integration Platform slated to launch in the coming months. The platform aims to end the long development times typically associated with creating software connections, enabling users to create new connections in as little as an hour.
