Authenticated message disclosure via missing room check

Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026

Improper access control in Rocket.Chat before 8.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to read messages from rooms they cannot access. The /api/v1/autotranslate.translateMessage endpoint passes a supplied message ID to Messages.findOneById without calling canAccessRoomIdAsync. Any authenticated account can obtain message text, sender data, room identifiers, timestamps, and markdown from private groups, direct messages, or channels.
