Summary

Telegram-Stremio through 5.1.0 contains a broken object-level authorization flaw (CWE-639) that lets an authenticated token holder read arbitrary chat messages by forging unsigned stream IDs decoded by encode_string and decode_string. An attacker who can enumerate sequential msg_id values and set a global flag in the stream_handler endpoint can route requests through the operator's personal Userbot account, exposing private channels, groups and Saved Messages. The unauthenticated thumb_handler endpoint also discloses thumbnails from the same chats without token validation.

Description from the CNA

Telegram-Stremio through 5.1.0 contains a broken object-level authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated token holders to access arbitrary chat messages by forging unsigned, unauthenticated stream IDs decoded via encode_string/decode_string functions. Attackers can craft or enumerate sequential msg_id values and set a global flag in the stream_handler endpoint to route requests through the operator's personal Userbot account, exposing private channels, groups, and Saved Messages, while the unauthenticated thumb_handler endpoint further discloses thumbnails from those same chats without any token validation.
