CVE-2026-48768 baptisteArno CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of TypeBot versions 3.16.1 and earlier should update to version 3.17.0 to mitigate this vulnerability. Affected operators, platforms, vulnerability-management teams, and security teams should review and restrict file upload functionality, monitor for suspicious file uploads and system changes.

Technical summary

The vulnerability is caused by the unauthenticated POST /api/blocks/file-input/v3/generate-upload-url endpoint, which uses unsanitized fileName input to construct public/ S3 object keys. This allows an attacker to upload malicious files, including HTML, SVG, or JS, to arbitrary subpaths. The issue enables arbitrary content hosting and potential stored XSS on the storage origin. Affected users should be cautious of file uploads and ensure that their TypeBot version is updated to 3.17.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. The CVE record was published on 2026-06-18T00:16:23.887Z and last modified on 2026-06-22T18:27:30.807Z. Evidence is limited to public CVE and NVD information.
