Researchers have discovered a slew of issues in the popular OkCupid dating app, which could have allowed attackers to collect users' sensitive dating information, manipulate their profile data or even send messages from their profile.

Check Point researchers disclosed their findings to OKCupid, after which OkCupid acknowledged the issues and fixed the security flaws in their servers.

"Not a single user was impacted by the potential vulnerability on OkCupid, and we were able to fix it within 48 hours," said OkCupid in a statement.

It's not the first time the OkCupid platform has had security flaws.

In 2019, a critical flaw was found in the OkCupid app that could allow a bad actor to steal credentials, launch man-in-the-middle attacks or completely compromise the victim's application.
