This issue affects all versions of HiJiffy Chatbot and does not require user interaction or privileges to exploit, making it remotely exploitable over the network.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to access and download private messages of other users, leading to potential exposure of sensitive or confidential information. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of unauthorized data disclosure. However, there are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
