CVE-2025-66099 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the ThemeAtelier Chat Help product, specifically in versions up to and including 3.1.3. The vulnerability arises from improperly configured access control mechanisms that fail to enforce authorization checks on certain chat help functionalities. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access data that should be restricted, leading to a confidentiality breach. The vulnerability does not allow modification of data or disruption of service, limiting its impact to information disclosure. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date. The lack of patches or vendor-provided fixes at the time of disclosure means organizations must rely on interim mitigations. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for organizations that deploy Chat Help as part of their customer support or internal communication infrastructure, where unauthorized data access could expose sensitive customer or operational information.

For European organizations, the primary impact is unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive information handled via the Chat Help platform. This could include customer inquiries, internal support tickets, or other confidential communications. While the vulnerability does not allow data modification or service disruption, the confidentiality breach could lead to reputational damage, regulatory compliance issues (e.g., GDPR violations), and potential exploitation by threat actors for social engineering or further attacks. Organizations relying heavily on Chat Help for customer engagement or internal support may face increased risk. The medium severity score indicates a moderate risk level, but the ease of exploitation (no authentication or user interaction required) elevates the urgency for mitigation. The absence of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future exploitation attempts.

1. Immediately restrict network access to the Chat Help service, limiting it to trusted internal IP ranges or VPN connections to reduce exposure to unauthenticated attackers. 2. Implement additional access control layers at the network or application gateway level to enforce authorization checks externally until a vendor patch is available. 3. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual access patterns or unauthorized queries to the Chat Help system. 4. Engage with ThemeAtelier support or security advisories to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they are released. 5. Conduct an internal audit of data accessible via Chat Help to identify and minimize sensitive information exposure. 6. Educate support and IT teams about the vulnerability and recommended interim controls. 7. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts targeting Chat Help endpoints.
