Account impersonation via unbound chat-link confirmation
Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 17, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Budibase Server before 3.40.0 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate same-tenant users. The confirmChatLinkSession controller accepts a leaked confirmationToken without binding it to the initiating user or validating CSRF, then links the logged-in victim to the attacker’s external chat identity. The victim must share the tenant, remain logged in, and submit the attacker’s form; subsequent agent operations inherit the victim’s permissions.
