DescriptionNVD

prompts.chat prior to commit 1464475 contains an identity confusion vulnerability due to inconsistent case-sensitive and case-insensitive handling of usernames across write and read paths, allowing attackers to create case-variant usernames that bypass uniqueness checks. Attackers can exploit non-deterministic username resolution to impersonate victim accounts, replace profile content on canonical URLs, and inject attacker-controlled metadata and content across the platform.

AnalysisAI

Identity confusion in prompts.chat (prior to commit 1464475) enables authenticated attackers to impersonate users and hijack profile URLs by creating case-variant usernames (e.g., 'Alice' vs 'alice'). Inconsistent case-handling between write and read operations allows bypass of uniqueness validation, letting attackers inject malicious content on canonical victim profiles. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all prompts.chat instances in your environment and document current deployed version. Within 7 days: Apply vendor patch (commit 1464475 or later) to all prompts.chat deployments and validate case-sensitive username uniqueness is enforced. …
