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
A prompt injection vulnerability in the chatbox of Fusion Chat Chat AI Assistant Ask Me Anything v1.2.4.0 allows attackers to access and exfiltrate all previous and subsequent chat data between the user and the AI assistant via a crafted message.

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

A prompt injection vulnerability exists in the chatbox of Fusion Chat Chat AI Assistant v1.2.4.0, allowing attackers to craft malicious messages that manipulate the AI assistant to access and exfiltrate conversation history. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization or lack of prompt isolation in the chat interface.

MitigationImplement robust input validation and prompt sanitization to treat user input as data rather than instructions, and add output filtering to detect and block attempts to access or exfiltrate chat history.

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. Verify Fusion Chat Chat AI Assistant version
    Check the application's About page, help menu, or installation directory for the version number. Common locations include Help > About, the installer log, or a version.txt file in the program directory.
    Affected if The installed version matches v1.2.4.0 exactly, or falls within the 1.2.x branch prior to any security update.
  2. Confirm chat interface is accessible
    Launch the application and navigate to the chatbox or chat assistant feature. Verify the chat input field is available for user input.
    Affected if The chat interface is enabled and accessible to users, as the vulnerability requires interaction with the chatbox.
  3. Test for prompt injection susceptibility
    Enter a crafted message into the chat input designed to manipulate the AI assistant, such as a request that attempts to access or summarize previous conversation history. Observe whether the assistant complies with instructions that should be outside its normal operation.
    Affected if The assistant responds to prompts that attempt to access, reveal, or exfiltrate conversation history, indicating insufficient input sanitization.
  4. Inspect chat history access controls
    Review the application's configuration or settings for chat history storage and whether the AI assistant has direct access to read prior conversations without additional authorization.
    Affected if Chat history is stored in a manner that allows the AI assistant to access it through user prompts without proper isolation.

A user is affected if they are running Fusion Chat Chat AI Assistant v1.2.4.0 (or an unpatched 1.2.x version) with the chat interface enabled, and the assistant can be manipulated via prompt injection to access conversation history.
