Chameleon not vulnerable to MongoBleed - CVE-2025-14847
Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Dec 29, 2025, 02:04 PM UTC
Chameleon is not and was not not affected by the recently disclosed MongoDB vulnerability CVE-2025-14847 (aka. MongoBleed). It allows attackers to read arbitrary data from the database's heap memory. Chameleon's MongoDB instances are not publicly accessible and are also hosted with MongoDB Atlas which means they were patched before disclosure. We will, however, keep up to date on any developments from this incident

Update regarding active Cloudflare incident
Affected: Dashboard

- monitoring Nov 18, 2025, 02:25 PM UTC
As of approximately 6:45 AM ET, Cloudflare reported an incident affecting many sites and vendors across the internet (Check https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ for any direct updates). While Chameleon does not directly rely on Cloudflare, some services we depend on do. Consequently, you may experience the following: Copilot: OpenAI powers this feature and is currently impacted. Integrations: Data from integrations (Mixpanel, Amplitude, HubSpot, etc.) may be delayed until the incident is resolved. Recommendation: If your own product is experiencing downstream issues, we encourage you to use Chameleon to publish a downtime banner to alert your users. Please reach out if you need assistance setting this up.

According Cloudflare and others, this incident is resolved
AWS outage information + Segments + Background jobs backlog
Affected: Heroku
Timeline · 6 updates
- monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 01:48 PM UTC
During the AWS outage, Chameleon remained online and was not directly affected by the ongoing issues. All Chameleon Experiences were published on schedule, and new experiences went live as expected. Many customers also used Chameleon to notify *their customers* via in-product banners linking to their own status pages. During this period, we ingested and queued a large volume of data — typical for EU and US Eastern morning hours. However, today our auto-scaling was unable to bring additional resources online due to the AWS and Heroku issues. As a result, we are currently processing a backlog of data and background jobs. The current processing delay is approximately 30 minutes (Experience metrics are delayed by this amount, but microsurvey responses are not). This backlog will decrease quickly once auto-scaling resumes normal operation.
- monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 01:48 PM UTC
Updating to have a "Minor" impact
- monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 04:21 PM UTC
Our current application / background servers are running as-is but our ability to scale our cluster is impacted. We will need additional resources provisioned within the next few hours to bring the backlog back into a manageable length. We will continue to monitor and implement any fixes that we can along the way and will plan to send another update within the next 2-3 hours
- monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 05:03 PM UTC
Currently the Segment page (https://app.chameleon.io/segments) is only loading for a small percentage of requests due to upstream impact at Clickhouse => https://status.clickhouse.com
- monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 10:12 PM UTC
According to AWS "AWS services which rely on EC2 instance launches such as [Heroku] are working through their backlog of EC2 instance launches successfully and we anticipate full recovery of the backlog over the next two hours" <= for Chameleon this means out data backlog should start processing more quickly automatically over the same time frame
- resolved Oct 21, 2025, 02:13 AM UTC
The backlog of events has been processed and any new data coming in will be processed in near real time. TL;DR; Aside from the data backlog (peaked at 2 hours delay), and a ~10% error rate for loading Segments of users (in the Chameleon dashboard; no impact for your end-users), it was a relatively normal day at Chameleon in terms of the "rate of experiences delivered" for the baseline. Chameleon delivered approx. 200k downtime notices I hope today was not too stressful for you / your business and as always feel free to reach out with questions
