Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Livechat messages can be leaked by combining two NoSQL injections affecting livechat:loginByToken (pre-authentication) and livechat:loadHistory.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This vulnerability chains two NoSQL injection flaws in Livechat components: a pre-authentication injection in livechat:loginByToken combined with an injection in livechat:loadHistory. By exploiting this attack path, an unauthenticated attacker can extract livechat messages from the database.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and parameterized queries in both livechat:loginByToken and livechat:loadHistory endpoints to prevent NoSQL injection. Additionally, enforce proper authentication and authorization checks on the loadHistory function.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Livechat installation
    Locate the Livechat component in your environment by searching for 'livechat' in installed packages, modules, or application dependencies. Check package.json, requirements.txt, or equivalent dependency files for livechat-related packages.
    Affected if Livechat component is present in the environment
  2. Verify livechat:loginByToken endpoint exposure
    Check if the livechat:loginByToken method is accessible without authentication. Review the application routing configuration or API endpoint definitions to determine if this endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests.
    Affected if The livechat:loginByToken endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users
  3. Verify livechat:loadHistory endpoint exposure
    Examine the livechat:loadHistory endpoint configuration. Determine whether this endpoint is protected by authentication or if it can be invoked without valid credentials.
    Affected if The livechat:loadHistory endpoint accepts requests without proper authentication
  4. Check for NoSQL database usage
    Identify if the backend uses a NoSQL database (such as MongoDB) for storing livechat messages. Review database configuration files or application code that handles livechat data storage.
    Affected if A NoSQL database stores livechat messages and accepts injection through the identified endpoints
  5. Confirm input validation status
    Review the code handling livechat:loginByToken and livechat:loadHistory requests. Determine whether input validation or parameterized queries are implemented to sanitize user-supplied data before database queries.
    Affected if NoSQL injection is possible due to missing input validation on the affected endpoints

The environment is affected if Livechat is installed and the livechat:loginByToken and livechat:loadHistory endpoints are accessible to unauthenticated users without proper input validation.
