Description

LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. Versions 2.3.1 and below allow any authenticated user to export the entire database of links from all users in the system, including private links that should only be accessible to their owners. The HTML and CSV export functions in the ExportController class retrieve all links without applying any ownership or visibility filtering, effectively bypassing all access controls implemented elsewhere in the application. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in LinkAce versions 2.3.1 and below allows any authenticated user to export the entire database of links from all users, including private links that should only be accessible to their owners. The export functions do not apply ownership or visibility filtering, bypassing access controls and exposing private data.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of private links belonging to other users, potentially exposing sensitive or confidential information. This can result in privacy breaches and loss of trust among users of the system.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade LinkAce to version 2.4.0 or later, as this version fixes the vulnerability by applying proper ownership and visibility filtering to the export functions. Until the upgrade can be performed, restrict authenticated user access to the export functionality to prevent unauthorized data export.
