Frequently Asked Questions

CVE-2026-62862: Detection, Impact, and Mitigation

What is CVE-2026-62862 and which systems are affected?

CVE-2026-62862 is a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in Typebot’s self-hosted passwordless email login flow. It allows an unauthenticated attacker to take over any user account by brute-forcing the 6-digit email verification code. The flaw affects self-hosted Typebot deployments running versions prior to 3.18.0. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.1 (Critical). Note: Only self-hosted Typebot instances using the email/passwordless login provider are affected. Source

How can organizations mitigate CVE-2026-62862?

To mitigate CVE-2026-62862, organizations should immediately upgrade self-hosted Typebot instances to version 3.18.0 or later. This update addresses weak token generation, missing rate limiting, and spoofable rate-limit header issues. If patching is not immediately possible, disable or restrict the passwordless email login provider, enforce strict server-side rate limiting on the /api/auth/callback/nodemailer endpoint (not relying on client-supplied headers), and monitor authentication logs for repeated failed verification attempts. Note: Delaying patching increases risk of account takeover. Source

How does IONIX detect assets potentially exposed to CVE-2026-62862?

IONIX identifies potentially affected assets by matching signals collected during its external attack surface discovery process. For CVE-2026-62862, IONIX detects the presence of Typebot by analyzing page titles (e.g., "| Typebot" at the end of the title) and other metadata, without sending additional requests beyond the initial crawl. This enables organizations to map all assets running vulnerable Typebot versions and prioritize remediation. Note: Detection relies on previously crawled data; assets not visible externally may not be identified. Source

What does the IONIX exposure report for this CVE include?

The IONIX exposure report for CVE-2026-62862 provides a mapping of all assets with the affected technology, identification of potentially exposed assets, and confirmation of verified exploitable assets. This report helps organizations understand their exposure and prioritize mitigation actions. Note: The report is based on external visibility; internal-only assets may not be included.

IONIX Platform Capabilities & Workflow

How does IONIX discover and map the external attack surface?

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across an organization’s environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and forgotten infrastructure. No agents or sensors are required. Note: Discovery is limited to assets visible from the internet; internal-only assets are not mapped. Source

How does IONIX validate and prioritize exposures?

IONIX applies attacker-centric validation to exposures, using safe, non-intrusive test payloads derived from real-world proof-of-concept code. The platform filters vulnerabilities by reachability, authentication requirements, and evidence of exploitation, reducing noise and focusing teams on threats that can be weaponized. Prioritization is based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. Note: Validation is performed only on externally reachable assets. Source

What is Live Exposure Defense and how does it support zero-day response?

Live Exposure Defense is an IONIX capability that commits to a 12-hour SLA from CVE publication to identifying every potentially affected asset, with exploitability validation inside the same window. This enables organizations to respond rapidly to zero-days like CVE-2026-62862, reducing mean time to remediation (MTTR) and limiting exposure windows. Note: SLA applies to externally visible assets; internal assets require separate processes. Source

How does IONIX integrate with existing security tools for remediation?

IONIX integrates with ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow), SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), and collaboration tools (Slack via RSS feed) to route validated findings directly into operational workflows. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized for action. Note: Integration requires configuration and may depend on API access for some platforms. Source

CVE-2026-62862 – Account Takeover via Brute-Forceable Email Login Codes – Typebot < 3.18.0

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-62862 is a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in Typebot’s self-hosted passwordless email login flow, allowing an anonymous, unauthenticated attacker to take over any user account by brute-forcing the 6-digit email verification code. The flaw affects self-hosted Typebot deployments running versions prior to 3.18.0 and carries a CVSS base score of 9.1 (Critical).

Technical details

  • Root cause: Typebot generates its 6-digit login codes using Math.floor(100000 + Math.random() * 900000), a non-cryptographic PRNG that limits the keyspace to 900,000 possible values instead of using NextAuth’s cryptographically secure tokens.
  • The verification callback (GET /api/auth/callback/nodemailer) enforces no attempt limit, no lockout, and no CSRF protection, so an attacker can submit unlimited code guesses within the 10-minute validity window.
  • Failed guesses do not invalidate or consume the outstanding valid code, so the correct code remains guessable for its full lifetime.
  • The rate limiter that throttles code-sending trusts the client-controlled X-Forwarded-For header, letting an attacker rotate this header to request multiple concurrent valid codes for the same target email and improve brute-force odds.
  • Attack vector: network, no authentication or user interaction required. Impact: full account takeover, exposing the victim’s bots, results data, and integration credentials; can also be used to pre-create accounts for arbitrary email addresses.

Affected software

  • baptisteArno/typebot.io versions prior to 3.18.0 (self-hosted deployments using the email/passwordless login provider)

Severity

  • CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 9.1 (Critical)
  • Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade self-hosted Typebot instances to version 3.18.0 or later, which addresses the weak token generation, missing rate limiting, and spoofable rate-limit header issues.
  • If patching is not immediately possible: disable or restrict the passwordless email login provider, enforce strict server-side rate limiting on the /api/auth/callback/nodemailer endpoint that does not rely on client-supplied headers, and monitor authentication logs for repeated failed verification attempts against the same account.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
