CVE-2026-39969 — TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool

Medium CVSS 6.5

TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. In versions 3.16.0 and prior, the WhatsApp Cloud API webhook endpoint (POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/whatsapp/{credentialsId}/webhook) does not verify the x-hub-signature-256 HMAC signature included by Meta in every webhook delivery. The webhook URL exposes both workspaceId and credentialsId as path parameters, which are logged in web server access logs, visible in Meta's webhook configuration dashboard, and potentially shared when configuring integrations. This allows any unauthenticated attacker to send spoofed webhook messages to trigger bot flows, consume API resources, and interact with external services using the workspace owner's credentials. The issue has been fixed in version 3.17.0.

Matched remediation archetype

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
