The description as published by the source.
TypeBot is a chatbot builder tool. Prior to version 3.17.0, the handleGetSheets API handler (POST /api/sheets/getSheets) does not validate workspace membership, allowing any authenticated user to access and decrypt another workspace's Google Sheets OAuth credentials and retrieve spreadsheet data (sheet names, IDs, column headers). Version 3.17.0 fixes the issue.

3Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/sheets/getSheets on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
