Account takeover via cleartext API token storage
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Cleartext credential storage in Typebot 3.16.1 allows attackers with database read access to steal API tokens and impersonate users. The ApiToken model saves raw tokens as plain strings, and bearer authentication compares submitted credentials directly with those database values. Database read access is required; a recovered token grants access to the victim's workspace without a password or multi-factor authentication.
