CVE-2023-43990Network attack vector

Malicious notification delivery via exposed channel token

Published Jan 24, 2024 · Updated May 30, 2025

Channel access token exposure in the cherub-hair mini-app for LINE 13.6.1 allows attackers to send crafted malicious notifications. The public record states that the mini-app leaks its channel access token, which then authenticates attacker-controlled notification requests. Reaching the issue requires low-privileged network access, and the demonstrated consequence is unauthorized notification delivery rather than service interruption.
