Background: Patient-facing medical chatbots based on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are increasingly promoted to deliver accessible, grounded health information. AI-assisted development lowers the barrier to building them, but they still demand rigorous security, privacy, and governance controls. Objective: To report an anonymized, non-destructive security assessment of a publicly accessible patient-facing medical RAG chatbot and identify governance lessons for safe deployment of generative AI in health. Methods: We used a two-stage strategy. First, Claude Opus 4.6 supported exploratory prompt-based testing and structured vulnerability hypotheses. Second, candidate findings were manually verified using Chrome Developer Tools, inspecting browser-visible network traffic, payloads, API schemas, configuration objects, and stored interaction data. Results: The LLM-assisted phase identified a critical vulnerability: sensitive system and RAG configuration appeared exposed through client-server communication rather than restricted server-side. Manual verification confirmed that ordinary browser inspection allowed collection of the system prompt, model and embedding configuration, retrieval parameters, backend endpoints, API schema, document and chunk metadata, knowledge-base content, and the 1,000 most recent patient-chatbot conversations. The deployment also contradicted its privacy assurances: full conversation records, including health-related queries, were retrievable without authentication. Conclusions: Serious privacy and security failures in patient-facing RAG chatbots can be identified with standard browser tools, without specialist skills or authentication; independent review should be a prerequisite for deployment. Commercial LLMs accelerated this assessment, including under a false developer persona; assistance available to auditors is equally available to adversaries.
