CVE-2026-48495: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in baptisteArno typebot.io
TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Prior to version 3.17.0, the Google Sheets OAuth callback decodes a base64-encoded JSON `state` parameter and trusts the embedded `workspaceId`, `typebotId`, `blockId`, and `redirectUrl` without cryptographic integrity protection or authorization checks. The callback route is authenticated, but it does not verify that the authenticated user has write access to the target workspace or Typebot before creating credentials in the workspace or updating Typebot groups. An authenticated user who can obtain a valid Google OAuth `code` can alter the `state` value to create Google Sheets credentials in another workspace and, if target IDs are known, attach those credentials to a block in another Typebot. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
TypeBot versions before 3.17.0 have a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Google Sheets OAuth callback. The callback route authenticates users but does not verify that the authenticated user has write access to the workspace or TypeBot referenced in the base64-encoded JSON state parameter. This state parameter includes workspaceId, typebotId, blockId, and redirectUrl, which are trusted without cryptographic integrity protection or authorization checks. An attacker with a valid Google OAuth code can manipulate the state to create or update Google Sheets credentials in other users' workspaces or attach credentials to blocks in other TypeBots if the target IDs are known. The vulnerability is fixed in version 3.17.0.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with a valid Google OAuth code can escalate privileges by creating or modifying Google Sheets credentials in workspaces they do not have write access to. This can lead to unauthorized access and modification of data within other users' workspaces or TypeBots. The confidentiality and integrity of data linked to Google Sheets integrations can be compromised. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade TypeBot to version 3.17.0 or later, where this missing authorization vulnerability is patched. Since no official patch links or advisories are provided, verify the upgrade through the vendor's official channels. Until upgraded, restrict access to authenticated users with valid Google OAuth codes and monitor for suspicious activity related to Google Sheets credential creation or modification.
