Security Impact
CVSS: 6.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L).
How to Fix CVE-2025-47948
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Cocotais bot dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install cocotais-bot@1.6.2Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls cocotais-botHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-47948, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls cocotais-botAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Cocotais bot in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.2), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls cocotais-bot command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Cocotais bot, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"summary" : "Cocotais Bot has builtin .echo command injection",
"details" : "### Summary\n\nA command echoing feature in the framework allows users to indirectly trigger privileged behavior by injecting special platform tags. Specifically, an unauthorized user can use the `/echo <qqbot-at-everyone />` command to cause the bot to send a message that mentions all members in the chat, bypassing any permission controls. This can lead to spam, disruption, or abuse of notification systems.\n\n### Details\n\nThe framework provides a command `/echo` that causes the bot to repeat any user-provided message verbatim in the group chat. However, the bot fails to sanitize or filter platform-specific control elements such as `<qqbot-at-everyone />`, which, when included in a message, mentions everyone (i.e., @全体成员). While normal users are forbidden from using this tag in normal chats, the bot, which has higher privileges, is allowed to do so.\n\nSince the `/echo` command blindly echoes any content, a user can exploit this by sending:\n\n```\n/echo <qqbot-at-everyone />\n```\n\nThe bot will then send a message containing `<qqbot-at-everyone />`, causing the platform to interpret it as an @全体成员 command, effectively allowing an unauthorized user to @everyone via the bot.\n\n### PoC\n\n1. Set up a chatbot using the affected framework.\n2. Join the chat that includes the bot as a regular user with **no permission to use @全体成员**.\n3. Send the following message in the chat:\n\n```\n/echo <qqbot-at-everyone />\n```\n4. The bot will respond by repeating the message, and the platform will interpret `<qqbot-at-everyone />` as an @全体成员 mention.\n5. All the chat members receive a notification, despite the user lacking that permission.\n\n",
