CVE-2026-48766: TypeBot vulnerable to OpenAI API key exfiltration in listModels via attacker-controlled baseUrl

Published Aug 11, 2026

Updated

TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Versions prior to 3.17.0 allow a low-privilege guest member of a workspace to exfiltrate stored OpenAI-compatible API keys by invoking the OpenAI model-listing helper with an attacker-controlled baseUrl. The vulnerable path decrypts the selected workspace credential, creates an OpenAI client with the secret in both apiKey and the explicit api-key header, and then sends the outbound request to the caller-supplied URL. Because the permission check accepts any readable workspace member and listCredentials reveals credential identifiers to guests, a guest can force the server to deliver the workspace secret to attacker infrastructure. Version 3.17.0 patches the issue.

Affected Software

1 affected component
TypeBot<3.17.0

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade TypeBot to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 3.17.0
  2. Compensating control

    Restrict/validate the OpenAI-compatible model-listing helper so that calls do not use attacker-controlled baseUrl (block outbound requests from the service to untrusted caller-supplied URLs until TypeBot 3.17.0 is applied).
