CVE-2026-55666 Details
Description
Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform. Prior to 8.5.1, 8.4.4, 8.3.6, 8.2.6, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, and 7.10.13, in apps/meteor/app/apple/server/loginHandler.ts, handleIdentityToken parses a JWT issued by Apple during the OAuth flow. The try block checks for an email parameter. If the JWT does not contain an email address, the application falls back to accepting an arbitrary email value supplied directly in the request. Attackers are able to forge Apple JWTs that do not contain an email address and leverage this vulnerability to carry out account takeover attacks. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.5.1, 8.4.4, 8.3.6, 8.2.6, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, and 7.10.13.
A vulnerability in Rocket.Chat's handling of Apple OAuth identity tokens can lead to account takeover. In versions prior to 8.5.1, 8.4.4, 8.3.6, 8.2.6, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, and 7.10.13, the login handler accepted forged JWTs from Apple that lacked an email address. The application would then fallback to an arbitrary email value provided in the request, allowing attackers to take over accounts.
Users can upgrade to Rocket.Chat versions 8.5.1, 8.4.4, 8.3.6, 8.2.6, 8.1.6, 8.0.7, or 7.10.13 to address this vulnerability.
