I'd argue there's poor design that could be patched here. From an article detailing the vulnerability (https://mrbruh.com/chattr/):
then later:
That it's somehow faster or easier to (mis)configure a system such that you have full read/write is poor design. Secure by default, principles of least privilege; stuff that you want the implementers of the system to stick to so that when you're a user (restaurants), you don't need to think about this sort of thing.
Of course the restaurants are also at fault for putting people's personal info into yet another charlatan AI SaaS.
