Chatbot: Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
CVE-2023-2887 is a critical-severity authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Chatbot from Cbot, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version Core: v4.0.3.4 Panel: v4.0.3.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating Chatbot to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.77% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 56% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Chatbot to Core: v4.0.3.4 Panel: v4.0.3.7 or a later version.
- Update Cbot Core to 4.0.3.4 or a later version.
- Update Cbot Panel to 4.0.3.7 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
