DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ChatterMate is a no-code AI chatbot agent framework. In versions 1.0.8 and below, the chatbot accepts and executes malicious HTML/JavaScript payloads when supplied as chat input. Specifically, an <iframe> payload containing a javascript: URI can be processed and executed in the browser context. This allows access to sensitive client-side data such as localStorage tokens and cookies, resulting in client-side injection. This issue has been fixed in version 1.0.9.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

ChatterMate chatbot instances running versions 1.0.8 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution through malicious chat inputs, allowing attackers to compromise customer data, deploy malware, or manipulate bot responses. This critical vulnerability poses an immediate risk to any organization using ChatterMate for customer-facing applications or internal operations.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible: implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block HTML/JavaScript payloads in chat inputs; restrict ChatterMate access to internal networks only; disable ChatterMate service until patching is complete; implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers; enable verbose logging and real-time alerting for suspicious chat patterns.
