AI-suggested

Upgrade to typebot.io version 3.17.0 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability has been fixed. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the issue is resolved in 3.17.0. Until upgrading, restrict read access to typebots to trusted users only to reduce risk.

Description

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an attacker can inject arbitrary webhook JSON into another workspace's WhatsApp preview session and advance its draft/unpublished flow without any access to the victim typebot.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.
