CVE-2026-13591
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 · uneditedA weakness has been identified in DeepMyst Mysti 0.4.0. Affected is the function _isTrackedConversation of the file src/managers/ChannelBridge.ts of the component Contact Tracking. This manipulation of the argument _channelType causes improper authorization. The attack may be initiated remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Patch name: 9b4aff0f106db424aa45a35aa89dd0b8f2eb9a48. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue.
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 analysisA user or process is granted a privilege it should not have, so anyone who reaches that path inherits capability beyond what was intended. Attackers seek out exactly these over-granted routes. The fix is assigning the minimum privilege required and verifying every grant explicitly rather than assuming it.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped- 1. Navigate to the Mysti repository: https://github.com/DeepMyst/Mysti
- 2. Locate the commit 9b4aff0f106db424aa45a35aa89dd0b8f2eb9a48 or apply the changes from that commit
- 3. Review the changes to src/managers/ChannelBridge.ts, specifically the _isTrackedConversation function
- 4. Ensure the _channelType argument is properly validated for authorization checks before processing
- 5. Test the contact tracking functionality to verify the fix works correctly
