DescriptionCVE.org

stoatchat before 0.15.0 contains a permission bypass vulnerability in the message_fetch route that checks only ViewChannel permission instead of requiring ReadMessageHistory. Attackers with ViewChannel access but ReadMessageHistory denied can retrieve individual message content by ID, bypassing the intended history restriction enforced by bulk read routes.

AnalysisAI

Permission bypass in stoatchat before 0.15.0 allows authenticated users holding only ViewChannel access to read individual message content through the message_fetch route, circumventing the ReadMessageHistory restriction that bulk read routes correctly enforce. Organizations that deliberately deny ReadMessageHistory to specific users or roles - intending to block historical message access - are exposed because the single-message fetch path uses a weaker authorization check. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege user with ViewChannel
Delivery
Obtain target message ID via side channel
Exploit
Send message_fetch API request with message ID
Execution
Server checks only ViewChannel permission
Impact
Retrieve full restricted message content

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an authenticated stoatchat user (PR:L confirmed by CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, score 7.1) accurately characterizes the exposure: network-reachable, low complexity, no special attack conditions (AT:N), but requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An insider or external attacker who has obtained a low-privilege account with ViewChannel rights on a restricted channel authenticates to the stoatchat API and, using a message ID obtained through other means (such as side-channel metadata, a notification, or enumeration), issues a direct message_fetch request for that ID. Because the route checks only ViewChannel - which the attacker holds - the server returns the full message content despite the account's ReadMessageHistory permission being explicitly denied, exposing confidential communications without triggering the expected access control.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade stoatchat to version 0.15.0 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/stoatchat/stoatchat/security/advisories/GHSA-8qp4-h9xf-2vqr. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
