Failure for Elon Musk: The Doge site can be modified by everyone
The flaw that strikes the site is all the more worrying since the DOGE has access to American financial systems with data from millions of citizens, real nightmare for civil servants.
The Doge.Gov site has a huge security flaw
Two web development experts reported the flaw to 404Media After having spotted that Doge.gov uses an accessible and modifiable database allowing to publish unauthorized content, all live on the site.
To show the existence of this fault, one of the developers added two entries in the database: “This is a joke of a .Gov site” And “These 'Experts' Left Their Database Open -Roro”. Several hours after the survey of the investigation 404Mediathe changes were always visible.
If Doge.gov displays a banner that talks about“An official website of the United States government”the developers specify that he was “sloppy” and is not hosted on government servers.
The discovery is added to the management problems of the White House Website. The Waste.Gov site, which has just been created, was masked and locked on Wednesday February 12, when it was discovered that it used an undelated WordPress model.
As for the DOGE site, launched in January 2025, it remained empty for weeks with just three lines of text and a caricatural logo withdrawn since. During a press conference at the White House, Tuesday, February 11, Elon Musk praised the “Maximum transparency” DOGE cost reduction actions. The billionaire then cited publications on X and on the Doge.gov site, however devoid of information.
Since Thursday, February 13, DOGE.GOV has posted publications in DOGE account, statistics on US government regulations and its federal workforce.
