CVE-2026-48767 (HIGH) — details, PoC & remediation

Official description

NVD · unedited

TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Versions prior to 3.17.0 allow a low-privilege guest member of a workspace to obtain a live Google Sheets OAuth access token for that workspace by calling the Google Sheets helper `getAccessToken`. The vulnerable path checks only whether the caller has read access to the workspace, decrypts the stored Google OAuth credential, refreshes or retrieves the access token through the Google client, and returns the raw bearer token directly to the caller. Because guest members can also enumerate credential identifiers, a guest can mint and reuse the workspace's Google access token outside Typebot. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.

Technical summary

dbcve analysis

How this class of weakness works · CWE-200

The application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

Remediation

dbcve · scoped

Recommended fix High confidence

3.17.0

Identify the current TypeBot version in use by checking the running container or installation
Back up the current TypeBot instance and database before upgrading
Upgrade TypeBot to version 3.17.0 or later
If using Docker, pull the latest image with tag '3.17.0' or newer: docker pull typebot.io/typebot-server:3.17.0
Restart the TypeBot service to apply the updated version
Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number in the admin interface or via API
Confirm the vulnerability is patched by verifying that guest members can no longer access Google OAuth tokens through the getAccessToken helper

CVE-2026-48767 allows a guest with read access to a TypeBot workspace to retrieve the raw Google OAuth bearer token associated with that workspace's Google Sheets integration. The critical vulnerability is not the missing authorization check on the getAccessToken endpoint, but the architectural decision to return a live OAuth token to the caller at all — treating a third-party service credential as if it were internal application data. When TypeBot hands a caller a Google access token directly rather than proxying API requests through its own infrastructure, it conflates two separate trust domains: TypeBot's internal authorization model and Google's OAuth model. A guest with read access should never be able to mint or retrieve credentials that grant Google Sheets, Drive, Gmail, or Contacts access — not because they lack read permission, but because the OAuth token represents a different, more powerful class of access the workspace owner may not have intended to expose to guests at all. The enumeration capability compounds this significantly. Guests can discover credential identifiers before attempting retrieval, meaning the underlying credential storage was never designed with the assumption that low-privilege users might query it. This transforms the vulnerability from a theoretical exposure into a practical, scriptable attack where an attacker can map which workspaces have Google integrations, identify those with the most powerful scopes, and harvest tokens systematically. Three operational questions determine the real impact. First, can guests already access the underlying Google Sheets data through TypeBot's normal UI? If so, token theft may be redundant — but if the raw token enables capabilities the UI doesn't expose (scripted queries, API-only features, cross-service access), the severity is higher. Second, did the 3.17.0 patch include token revocation, or did existing tokens remain valid after the authorization fix was applied? If tokens were not rotated, any previously-extracted credentials remain exploitable indefinitely. Third, does the patch gate only getAccessToken, or does it restructure how integration credentials are handled more broadly? If the underlying pattern of returning raw tokens persists, similar blind spots likely exist in other integration paths. The deeper concern is detection blindness. Because TypeBot returns the token directly to the client, TypeBot itself has no visibility into how the token is used — no logs, no revocation capability, no scope enforcement beyond what Google OAuth provides. Even if this vulnerability was discovered and patched before public exploitation, operators cannot determine whether tokens were silently extracted during the vulnerable window. The patch tightens authorization, but it does not restore the forensic capability to answer 'were we breached?'
