CVE-2026-66750: Missing Authorization in sdelements lets-chat
Let's Chat 0.3.0 through 0.4.8 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to download file attachments from private and password-protected rooms they are not a member of by exploiting missing room membership checks in the file retrieval route. Attackers can enumerate adjacent MongoDB ObjectIds derived from a known file ID to recover files uploaded by other users, as the GET /files/:id/:name route in app/controllers/files.js only enforces login authentication without consulting room membership or the Room.canJoin check.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-66750 describes a broken access control vulnerability in Let's Chat versions 0.3.0 through 0.4.8. Authenticated attackers can exploit missing room membership checks in the GET /files/:id/:name route to download file attachments from private and password-protected rooms they are not members of. The route enforces only login authentication but does not verify if the user has permission to access the room or files, allowing enumeration of adjacent MongoDB ObjectIds to retrieve files uploaded by other users.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can access and download files from private or password-protected rooms without proper authorization. This leads to unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive information shared within those rooms. The vulnerability affects confidentiality but does not indicate impact on integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected versions and consider disabling file sharing or the vulnerable file retrieval endpoint. Monitor for updates from the vendor or project for an official fix.
