Description
Summary
The text-to-speech generation endpoint (`POST /api/v1/text-to-speech/generate`) is whitelisted (no auth) and accepts a `credentialId` directly in the request body. When called without a `chatflowId`, the endpoint uses the provided `credentialId` to decrypt the stored credential (e.g., OpenAI or ElevenLabs API key) and generate speech.
Root Cause
```typescript
// packages/server/src/controllers/text-to-speech/index.ts:58-64
} else {
// Use TTS config from request body
provider = bodyProvider
credentialId = bodyCredentialId // ← attacker-controlled credential ID
voice = bodyVoice
model = bodyModel
}
```
Docker Validation
`POST /api/v1/text-to-speech/generate` with arbitrary `credentialId` in body: endpoint processes request, sends SSE `tts_start` event, only fails when credential doesn't exist — proves code path runs without authentication.
Impact
• Use victim's API keys (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Azure, Google) without authorization
• Burn API credits on the victim's account
• Generate unlimited speech content at victim's expense
• Combined with credential ID leak from Finding 2, this is trivially exploitable
Suggested Fix
Remove the TTS endpoint from `WHITELIST_URLS` or validate that the credential belongs to the chatflow being used:
```typescript
// Only allow credentialId when it matches the chatflow's TTS configuration
if (!chatflowId) {
return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Authentication required' })
}
```
