How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

The vulnerability can affect any user who previews a malicious typebot in a vulnerable Typebot instance. An attacker needs a way to get a victim to load the crafted bot, but they do not need direct access to the victim's account once the malicious content is rendered in the victim's browser.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this?

The attacker typically needs the ability to create or influence a typebot that the victim will preview, plus the ability to host or embed JavaScript in that bot's content. From there, the attacker relies on the victim's existing authenticated session and the overly permissive credentials API.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

Combine strict client-side sanitization and isolation of untrusted content with robust backend authorization checks for any credential or secret-accessing endpoint. Design APIs so that secrets are rarely, if ever, returned in plaintext to browsers, and ensure that each credential retrieval is constrained by explicit ownership and role checks.
