## Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the message deletion logic of LibreChat. The `validateMessageReq` middleware only verifies that the `conversationId` provided in the URL belongs to the authenticated user, but it fails to validate the `messageId`. The underlying `deleteMessages` handler then executes a MongoDB `deleteMany` operation using only the `messageId` as a filter, without enforcing a user-ownership constraint. An attacker can bypass authorization by providing a `conversationId` they own alongside a target `messageId` belonging to another user. This issue was an incomplete fix for a previous vulnerability (CVE-2024-41703) and is resolved in version 0.8.4-rc1.
