CVE-2026-85605
Slink before 1.12.3 fails to properly authorize access to image comment endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read comment threads via GET /api/image/{imageId}/comments and server-sent-events subscriptions.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Slink before 1.12.3 fails to properly authorize access to image comment endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read comment threads via GET /api/image/{imageId}/comments and server-sent-events subscriptions. Attackers who obtain image IDs out of band can retrieve full comment threads on public images and subscribe to live comment updates without authentication or authorization checks.
