What to do

  1. Check which version of immich you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

immich is a high performance self-hosted photo and video management solution. Prior to version 2.6.0, the Immich application is vulnerable to credential disclosure when a user authenticates to a shared album. During the authentication process, the application transmits the album password within the URL query parameters in a GET request to /api/shared-links/me. This exposes the password in browser history, proxy and server logs, and referrer headers, allowing unintended disclosure of authentication credentials. The impact of this vulnerability is the potential compromise of shared album access and unauthorized exposure of sensitive user data. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.0.

The underlying weakness: Use of HTTP Request With Sensitive Query String

The web application uses an HTTP method to process a request, but the request includes sensitive information in the query string.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • When sending sensitive information, only include it in the request body or request headers instead of the query string. This may require avoiding use of GET requests.
