Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • EPSS is 0.46% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs baptisteArno typebot.io and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

01

What, why and how

TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. In version 3.16.1, an authenticated user who has read access to any typebot can resume a WhatsApp preview webhook session that belongs to a different typebot by mixing an authorized `typebotId` and `blockId` and a foreign preview phone number tied to another preview session. The WhatsApp test-webhook handler authorizes the parent typebot first, but then resolves the preview chat session only by `wa-preview-{phone}`. As a result, an attacker can inject arbitrary webhook JSON into another workspace's WhatsApp preview session and advance its draft/unpublished flow without any access to the victim typebot. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.

As a result, an attacker can inject arbitrary webhook JSON into another workspace's WhatsApp preview session and advance its draft/unpublished flow without any access to the victim typebot. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.

Why

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

CISA Vulnrichment records proof-of-concept exploitation in its SSVC data. BlackTree has not independently executed or validated exploit material.

CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

Fixed
No fixed version is explicitly recorded in the structured CVE data.
Action
No verified patch reference is present in the current structured sources. Check the vendor advisory before making a change.
Workaround
