Description
Let's Chat 0.3.0 through 0.4.8 contains an improper authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to archive any room on the server by sending a DELETE request to the rooms handler without ownership verification. Attackers can enumerate room IDs via the rooms listing endpoint and permanently archive private or password-protected rooms they cannot access, with no application-level recovery path requiring direct database intervention to restore.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Let's Chat releases 0.3.0 through 0.4.8 allows a logged‑in user to send a DELETE request to any room ID without verifying that the user owns the room. As a result, the attacker can permanently archive private or password‑protected rooms, effectively creating a loss of data and availability for those spaces. The application provides no recovery pathway except manual database intervention, making the effect irreversible through normal UI operations.

Affected Systems

The affected platform is the Let's Chat application released by sdelements, version numbers ranging from 0.3.0 to 0.4.8. Any installation of these releases is subject to the described error in room deletion authorization.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, and the EPSS score below 1% suggests a very low likelihood of widespread exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers must first authenticate to the system; once authenticated, the lack of ownership checks allows arbitrary room archival. No elevated privileges or remote code execution are required, so the exploit path is entirely through normal application operations. The risk is most acute in environments where many users have access to the system and room data is critical.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of Let's Chat that implements proper ownership checks on the DELETE /rooms/:room endpoint
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict the DELETE /rooms/:room endpoint to administrative accounts or enforce ACLs to block non‑admin deletions
  • Enable monitoring of room deletion logs and generate alerts for unusual deletion activity
