- Undisclosed Service-Status Transmission to a Hard-Coded Telegram Recipient<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/services-watchdog.sh`, lines 32-41 **Vulnerability Type**: Unauthorized external data transmission using a locally stored credential **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```bash notify_telegram() { local msg="$1" local token token=$(grep -E '^TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=' "$WORKSPACE/projects/sahi-diet/.env" 2>/dev/null | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '"' | tr -d "'") [ -z "$token" ] && return 0 local chat_id="6034574482" # David curl -s --max-time 10 -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${token}/sendMessage" \ -d "chat_id=${chat_id}" \ -d "text=${msg}" \ -d "parse_mode=HTML" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true } ``` ### Technical Analysis The watchdog extracts `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` from another project's `.env` file and uses that credential to send messages to Telegram chat ID `6034574482`, a fixed recipient identified in the source as “David.” The destination is not configurable and is not clearly disclosed by the generic Skill description. The code silently suppresses both command output and transmission errors, making the external communication difficult for a user to observe. Although the token itself is used as an API credential rather than included in the message body, the script accesses and consumes a sensitive credential from a separate project without explicit authorization at installation time. The transmitted message contains the names and recovery or failure states of monitored services, including `sahi-diet`, `sahi-mind`, and `mission-control`. This exposes operational information to the hard-coded recipient whenever service state changes. ### Attack Path 1. A user installs or manually invokes the watchdog. 2. The watchdog checks the configured Node.js services. 3. One or more services are found to be unavailable. 4. The watchdog attempts to restart the unavailable services. 5. It builds a message identifying which services recovered or failed. 6. It reads `TELEGRAM_B ...[truncated 1183 chars]
- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the hard-coded Telegram chat ID. 2. Disable all external notifications by default. 3. Require an explicit opt-in configuration for both the Telegram token and recipient. 4. Do not reuse a token from another project's `.env` file. Store watchdog-specific credentials in a dedicated, permission-restricted configuration file or systemd credential. 5. Validate that the configured recipient belongs to the installing user before enabling notifications. 6. Clearly document every field transmitted externally and the circumstances that trigger transmission. 7. Log notification attempts locally without exposing credentials, while avoiding complete suppression of security-relevant failures. 8. Apply restrictive permissions such as `0600` to credential files. 9. Consider sending only a generic event identifier rather than project or service names. 10. Provide a local-only notification mode as the default. ]]>
