Missing authorization in the WhatsApp group channel in Kiro Crew might allow a remote actor who is a member of an operator-configured WhatsApp group to control the operator's other agent sessions and execute arbitrary commands on the host running Kiro Crew via messages sent to the group.

Oct 13, 2026Click to Chat for WhatsApp: Arbitrary Shortcode ExecutionCVE-2026-92097 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1
The Click to Chat for WhatsApp plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in versions up to, and including, 4.44 This is due to the greetings_dialog() function building the {url} template placeholder from a sanitize_text_field()-filtered $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on archive pages and then passing the substituted greeting content to do_shortcode() in the greetings-1 and greetings-2 templates, without stripping shortcode delimiters. Because wp_kses() runs against main_content BEFORE the {url} substitution, the attacker-controlled URL bytes reach do_shortcode() unfiltered. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered by WordPress core, the active theme, or any other plugin (e.

Sep 25, 2026OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) versions >= 2026.5.2 and < 2026.8.1 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability in WhatsApp group handling.CVE-2026-100556 · Other software · OpenClaw · reported by VulnCheckMedium 5.3
OpenClaw (npm package openclaw) versions >= 2026.5.2 and < 2026.8.1 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability in WhatsApp group handling. A group sender who is admitted for ordinary messages but denied by commands.allowFrom or owner command authorization can issue the /new <model> command to reset the shared group session and persist a provider and model override. This allows a command-denied group member to select a provider and model already permitted by the operator for subsequent turns in the shared group session, potentially changing provider routing, cost, data flow, or availability. It does not allow adding a new provider or host command execution. The issue is fixed in version 2026.8.1.

@openclaw/whatsapp (npm) before 2026.8.1 exposes the WhatsApp login tool through the generic channel-tool path without preserving the originating sender's owner status, so the owner-only tool boundary is not enforced. An admitted non-owner sender able to steer the tool can request a forced login and receive a new QR code for a configured account, disconnecting the Gateway's WhatsApp account and causing loss of availability; full account relinking additionally requires the attacker to scan the returned QR code with another phone. The issue affects the owner-only tool boundary rather than WhatsApp transport authentication. Fixed in 2026.8.1.

Sep 24, 2026OpenWA is a free, open source, self-hosted WhatsApp API gateway.CVE-2026-91161 · Other software · rmyndharis · reported by GitHubMedium 6.4
OpenWA is a free, open source, self-hosted WhatsApp API gateway. Prior to 0.23.5, the GET /api/sessions/{sessionId}/groups/{groupId}/invite-code endpoint and the GroupGetInviteCode MCP tool have no OPERATOR role requirement, allowing a valid VIEWER key scoped to a session to retrieve an active group invite code. The invite code is a transferable WhatsApp bearer capability, so an external account can join a group administered by the session without an OpenWA credential, gain read and post access to the group, and retain membership after the VIEWER key is revoked. Affected deployments are those that issue VIEWER keys to parties who should not be able to add accounts to administered groups; OPERATOR and ADMIN access is intended. This issue is fixed in version 0.23.5.

Sep 24, 2026OpenWA is a free, open source, self-hosted WhatsApp API gateway.CVE-2026-91160 · Other software · rmyndharis · reported by GitHubHigh 8.2
OpenWA is a free, open source, self-hosted WhatsApp API gateway. Prior to 0.23.5, the /events WebSocket gateway delivers the session.qr event to a VIEWER API key that subscribes by event name or through either wildcard subscription form, even though GET /api/sessions/{sessionId}/qr requires the OPERATOR role. When an allowed session is waiting to be paired, the exposed QR lets the key holder link an external device to the WhatsApp account and then read and send messages outside OpenWA and its audit trail. Keys restricted through allowedSessions remain limited to those sessions, and deployments that issue only OPERATOR or ADMIN keys are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.23.5.

Sep 18, 2026WACRM is a self-hostable CRM template for WhatsApp.CVE-2026-77240 · Other software · ArnasDon · reported by GitHubCritical 9.9
WACRM is a self-hostable CRM template for WhatsApp. In version 0.7.0 and earlier, the profiles_update row-level security policy in supabase/migrations/017_account_sharing.sql permits authenticated users to modify their own account_role and account_id, allowing a viewer to self-promote or move into another tenant and then access or modify tenant resources. Separately, match_ai_knowledge_fts and match_ai_knowledge_semantic in supabase/migrations/030_ai_knowledge.sql run as SECURITY DEFINER, accept a caller-controlled p_account_id, and omit an is_account_member check, allowing an authenticated non-member to read another tenant's knowledge-base chunks.

Sep 18, 2026WACRM is a self-hostable CRM template for WhatsApp.CVE-2026-77239 · Other software · ArnasDon · reported by GitHubHigh 8.1
WACRM is a self-hostable CRM template for WhatsApp. In version 0.7.0 and earlier, WACRM flow and automation write routes authenticate account viewers but do not enforce the agent role before using a service-role database client that bypasses row-level security. In src/app/api/flows/[id]/route.ts, src/app/api/flows/[id]/activate/route.ts, and src/app/api/flows/route.ts, a viewer can create, edit, activate, or delete flows because membership-only checks are followed by service-role writes. In src/app/api/automations/route.ts and src/app/api/automations/engine/route.ts, a viewer can create active automations and trigger outbound WhatsApp actions without the role required by the underlying write policies. This can permit unauthorized workflow changes, destructive flow deletion, and outbound actions from a role intended to be read-only. This vulnerability is fixed with commit 03e851bea56dcf6bb21ff1b80ba531372bf3269f.

Baileys is a cocket-based TS/JavaScript API for WhatsApp Web. In versions prior to both 6.7.22 and 7.0.0-rc12, any Baileys session can be sent a malicious payload via the placeholderResendMessage and trigger a fake messages.upsert event with a fake message key and payload. This allows anyone to spoof messages. The same exploit also allows an attacker to corrupt the app state sync system by sending fake key shares, and also allows for history sync spoofing which also serves the same problem, injecting fake previous context or "on-demand" sync. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.7.22 and 7.0.0-rc12.

Jul 20, 2026WhatsApp MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp, enabling Claude to read and send WhatsApp messages.CVE-2026-46555 · Other software · verygoodplugins · reported by GitHubHigh 7.7
WhatsApp MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp, enabling Claude to read and send WhatsApp messages. Prior to version 0.2.1, the `whatsapp-bridge` HTTP API listens on `127.0.0.1:8080` without authentication and without Host header validation, and the `/api/send` endpoint accepts an absolute `media_path` parameter without confining it to a safe directory. Combined, these issues allow any local process running as the same user as the bridge to send WhatsApp messages from the paired account without authorization; the same caller to read arbitrary files readable by the user (e.g. SSH private keys, browser session data, source code, dotfiles) and exfiltrate them as WhatsApp document attachments; and/or a remote attacker to trigger the same operations via DNS rebinding from a webpage the user visits, since no Host header validation is performed. In MCP environments, "local caller" extends beyond processes the user explicitly launched — sibling MCP servers, IDE extensions, and tool-triggered flows running in the user's session can act as the effective caller. This issue is fixed in whatsapp-mcp v0.2.1 and corresponding Docker images / release artifacts. Users sho
