Short explanation
Lychee prior to version 7.6.1 lacks rate limiting on the album password unlock endpoint. A remote unauthenticated attacker can automate password guesses against password-protected albums.
The lack of request throttling allows attackers to perform automated brute-force attacks to recover passwords and gain unauthorized access to private photo collections.
What should be done?
- Update Lychee to the updated version
- Follow vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
Lychee uygulamasının 7.6.1 öncesi sürümlerinde albüm kilidi açma uç noktasında hız sınırlaması eksiktir.
Kimliği doğrulanmamış bir saldırgan albüm parolalarını kaba kuvvet saldırısıyla tahmin edebilir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Lychee is a free, open-source photo-management tool. Prior to 7.6.1, POST /api/v2/Album::unlock has no throttle, attempt counter, backoff, CAPTCHA, or lockout. UnlockAlbumRequest::authorize() permits any caller to submit attempts, and app/Actions/Album/Unlock.php verifies each guess with Hash::check without limiting repeated failures. A remote unauthenticated attacker who knows or can obtain an album identifier can automate password guesses against a password-protected album and, if the password is recovered, gain access to its private photo collection. This issue is fixed in version 7.6.1.
