CVE-2026-66749 Details
Description
Let's Chat 0.4.0 through 0.4.8 contains a null dereference vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to crash the server by supplying a valid 24-character hex string room parameter that matches no document in the database. Attackers can send a crafted GET /messages request causing an uncaught TypeError in an asynchronous Mongoose callback that terminates the Node.js server process, with the same defect reachable through multiple code paths including the socket.io interface.
A null dereference vulnerability has been identified in Let's Chat versions 0.4.0 through 0.4.8. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to crash the server by sending a valid 24-character hexadecimal room parameter that does not correspond to any existing document in the database. The issue arises when the server processes a GET request to the /messages endpoint. The absence of proper validation for the room parameter leads to an uncaught TypeError in a Mongoose callback, causing the Node.js server process to terminate. This vulnerability can also be exploited through the socket.io interface, using similar unvalidated room lookup.
