MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated Typebot account (PR:L) with permission to create or edit a bot that uses an HTTP Request block or Code block - the two features whose URL validation is bypassable. The attacker must control an externally reachable HTTP endpoint that responds with a 302 redirect to an internal target (such as 169.254.169.254 for cloud metadata or an RFC1918 address for internal APIs). Exploitation is limited to Typebot versions 3.15.2 and earlier and yields value only when the Typebot server has network reachability to a worthwhile internal target - i.e., it is deployed in a cloud environment with an attached IAM role, inside a VPC with private services, or in a container with an exposed orchestrator API; standalone deployments with no internal network exposure see reduced impact. No victim user interaction is required (UI:N). |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.7 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately captures the real risk profile: network-reachable, low-complexity, authenticated, scope-changed, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability damage - consistent with credential and metadata exfiltration rather than full takeover. PR:L means any user who can create or edit a bot with HTTP Request/Code blocks can exploit it, which on multi-tenant Typebot deployments is a meaningful population. EPSS and SSVC values were not provided in the input, and the CVE is not listed on CISA KEV, so exploitation status is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; however, the bypass technique (redirect-based SSRF to 169.254.169.254) is well-known and trivial to reproduce, so defenders should treat patching as a near-term priority for any Typebot instance running on AWS, GCP, Azure, or inside a container orchestrator where the metadata service or internal APIs would expose credentials. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Typebot editor on a Typebot instance running in AWS creates a bot whose HTTP Request block targets an attacker-controlled public URL (e.g., https://evil.example/redir) that passes the initial validateHttpReqUrl() check. When the bot runs, the attacker's server replies with HTTP 302 Location: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/<role>, ky/fetch transparently follow the redirect from inside the Typebot server, and the IAM role's temporary credentials are returned in the response body that the bot surfaces back to the attacker - pivoting from a low-privileged Typebot account to full cloud IAM access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 22, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Typebot versions 3.15.2 and prior allows authenticated users to bypass the validateHttpReqUrl() SSRF filter by chaining an attacker-controlled HTTP 302 redirect, since the underlying ky and fetch clients follow redirects without re-validating the destination. This enables reaching AWS instance metadata at 169.254.169.254, private subnets, and container-internal services from the Typebot server, with realistic impact including theft of cloud IAM credentials. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is fixed in version 3.16.0.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Typebot 3.16.0 or later, as published at https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/releases/tag/v3.16.0 with advisory GHSA-jxv3-m939-w95c. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, compensating controls include configuring the HTTP client (ky/fetch) to disable automatic redirect following or to re-run validateHttpReqUrl() on every redirect Location header, with the trade-off that legitimate workflows depending on redirect-based APIs (URL shorteners, OAuth-style flows) will break; at the network layer, block egress from the Typebot server to 169.254.169.254/32, RFC1918 ranges, and the container/Kubernetes internal CIDRs (this prevents the SSRF payoff but breaks any intentional internal HTTP calls the bot needs), and on AWS specifically enforce IMDSv2 with a hop limit of 1 to neutralize metadata credential theft from the application container. Restricting who can create or modify HTTP Request and Code blocks to a small, trusted set of editors is a temporary access-control mitigation but does not eliminate insider risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Typebot (cpe:2.3:a:baptistearno:typebot.io) is an open-source chatbot builder whose HTTP Request and Code blocks let bot authors issue outbound HTTP calls from the server. The product implements a denylist-style SSRF guard (validateHttpReqUrl()) that inspects only the initial URL to reject private IP ranges and cloud metadata hostnames, but the HTTP transports used (ky on top of native fetch) transparently follow 302 redirects without invoking that validator again. This is a textbook CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) realized through an open-redirect-style bypass - the root cause is performing input validation only at the entry point rather than on every network hop the client traverses.

DescriptionCVE.org
TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Versions 3.15.2 and prior contain an SSRF via Open Redirect Bypass as the HTTP Request block and Code block validate the initial request URL via validateHttpReqUrl() to block private IPs and cloud metadata hostnames. However, the HTTP clients (ky and fetch) follow 302 redirects without re-validating the redirect destination. An authenticated user can point a bot block to an attacker-controlled server that responds with a redirect to an internal IP, causing the Typebot server to reach internal services. An authenticated Typebot user can reach AWS metadata (169.254.169.254), private subnets, and container-internal services. Exploitable to extract cloud IAM credentials or probe internal APIs inaccessible from the internet. This issue has been fixed in version 3.16.0.
Executive ViewAI
Typebot versions 3.15.2 and earlier contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability that permits authenticated users to steal AWS IAM credentials and access private cloud infrastructure by exploiting insufficient redirect validation. Organizations deploying Typebot for customer interactions face credential exposure risk if users have authenticated access to configuration features.
