Description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to reset another user's session.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the chat.send /reset command handling in src/gateway/server-methods/chat.ts and src/auto-reply/reply/session.ts when processing chat.send requests that invoke /reset. A remote user can send a crafted chat.send /reset command to reset another user's session.
The issue allows session rotation, archives the prior transcript state, and forces issuance of a new session id through a write-scoped gateway path intended for non-admin use.
