The WhatsApp POST webhook handler (/notification/whatsapp/webhook) processes incoming status update events without verifying the Meta/WhatsApp X-Hub-Signature-256 HMAC signature, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to send forged webhook payloads that manipulate notification delivery status records, suppress alerts, and corrupt audit trails. The codebase already implements proper signature verification for Slack webhooks.
Vulnerable code — App/FeatureSet/Notification/API/WhatsApp.ts lines 372-430:
router.post(
"/webhook",
async (req: ExpressRequest, res: ExpressResponse, next: NextFunction) => {
try {
const body: JSONObject = req.body as JSONObject;
// NO signature verification! No X-Hub-Signature-256 check!
if (
(body["object"] as string | undefined) !== "whatsapp_business_account"
) {
return Response.sendEmptySuccessResponse(req, res);
}
const entries: JSONArray | undefined = body["entry"] as JSONArray | undefined;
// ... processes entries and updates WhatsApp log status records
Compare with the Slack webhook which correctly validates signatures:
Common/Server/Middleware/SlackAuthorization.ts line 58:
const isValid = crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(computedSignature),
Buffer.from(slackSignature)
);
The WhatsApp GET webhook correctly validates the verify token — only the POST handler (which processes actual events) is missing signature verification.
No existing CVEs cover webhook signature verification issues in OneUptime. The closest is GHSA-cw6x-mw64-q6pv (WhatsApp Resend Verification Auth Bypass), which is about a different WhatsApp-related authorization issue.
