Description
Chatwoot is a customer engagement suite. Prior to 4.9.0, Chatwoot allowed authenticated account administrators to transfer Portals, Automation Rules, Macros, and Twilio Channels to other accounts through the writable account_id parameter. This could break tenant isolation and cause cross-account data exposure, unauthorized configuration changes, or loss of access to transferred resources. This issue is fixed in version 4.9.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

Chatwoot customers were able to transfer Portals, Automation Rules, Macros, and Twilio Channels from one account to another by modifying the writable account_id parameter. This flaw allowed an authenticated account administrator to move resources between accounts, breaking tenant isolation and exposing sensitive information or altering critical configurations. The underlying weakness is an improper validation of identifier values (CWE‑915), and the result could include cross‑account data disclosure, unauthorized changes, or loss of access to transferred resources.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Chatwoot, vendor chatwoot:chatwoot, and all releases prior to version 4.9.0 are vulnerable. The fix is included in release 4.9.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.7 marks this as a medium‑severity vulnerability. EPSS data are not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitability appears to require an authenticated account administrator who can invoke the transfer API, which suggests a local‑administrator or privileged user attack vector. If such a role exists, the risk is that that user can transfer and expose resources across accounts.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Chatwoot patch v4.9.0 or newer to eliminate the writable account_id vulnerability.
  • Restrict administrative privileges so that only trusted users have permission to access resource transfer endpoints or modify the account_id field.
  • Verify that transfer operations are restricted to the owner’s account and consider disabling the feature until a fix is applied; perform an audit of transferred resources for evidence of cross‑account moves.
