TypeBot Chatbot Builder – Unauthenticated Arbitrary S3 Object Write

VulnerabilityHigh impactGlobalCVE-2026-48768
TypeBot's generate-upload-url endpoint fails to sanitize the 'fileName' parameter, allowing path traversal to write arbitrary files to S3 storage. An unauthenticated attacker can upload malicious files to arbitrary S3 paths.
TypeBot chatbots store user inputs, conversation logs, and attachments in S3. An attacker can inject malicious files, overwrite chatbot assets, or exfiltrate stored data.
Unauthenticated attacker calls the POST /api/blocks/file-input/v3/generate-upload-url endpoint with unsanitized 'fileName' parameter containing path traversal sequences (../) to write arbitrary files to S3 storage buckets.
TypeBot versions 3.16.1 and earlier
Update TypeBot to version 3.16.2 or later; implement input validation on fileName parameter
