Description

Chatwoot is a customer engagement suite. From 2.14.0 to before 4.13.0, a Pre-Account Takeover (Pre-ATO) vulnerability existed in Chatwoot's authentication flow. Because email confirmation was not enforced before an account became usable, an attacker could pre-register an email address they did not own and set a password. If the legitimate owner of that email later signed in to Chatwoot using Google OAuth (or another OmniAuth provider), the OAuth flow silently confirmed the existing account without invalidating the attacker's pre-set credentials. The attacker could then continue to log in with the password they had originally chosen and access any data the victim subsequently entered into the dashboard, including PII, API keys, and other sensitive information. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.13.0.

Remediation

  • Upgrade: 4.13.0moderate effort
  • Workaround:low effort

    Disable OAuth sign-in providers until the upgrade is applied, so confirmation cannot be bypassed via the OAuth callback.

  • Workaround:low effort

    Audit user accounts for entries where `confirmed_at` is set but the account was originally created via email/password sign-up before the user's first OAuth login, and force a password reset on those accounts.

  • Workaround:low effort

    Require all users to reset their passwords as a precaution.
