CVE-2026-48495: TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Prior to version 3.17.0, the Google Sheets OAuth callback decodes a base64-encoded JSON `state` parameter and trusts the embedded `workspaceId`, `typebotId`, `blockId`, and `redirectUrl` without cryptographic integrity protection or authorization checks. The callback route is authenticated, but it does not verify that the authenticated user has write access to the target workspace or Typebot before creating credentials in the workspace or updating Typebot groups. An authenticated user who can obtain a valid Google OAuth `code` can alter the `state` value to create Google Sheets credentials in another workspace and, if target IDs are known, attach those credentials to a block in another Typebot. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.
The exploitability of CVE-2026-48495 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
CVE-2026-48495 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-48495, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-48495, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
