Short explanation
In Lychee versions prior to 7.7.0, the GET /docs/api endpoint exposes OpenAPI documentation without authentication and lacks resource throttling. S0 S1
A remote attacker can repeatedly request this unauthenticated route to consume server CPU resources and obtain a detailed map of the API surface. S0 S1
What should be done?
- Update to version 7.7.0 or a later release
- Follow official vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
7.7.0 öncesi Lychee sürümlerinde GET /docs/api uç noktası kimlik doğrulaması olmadan Scramble OpenAPI belgelerini açığa çıkarır.
Saldırganlar bu kısıtlanmamış rotaya art arda istek göndererek sunucu CPU kaynaklarını tüketebilir.
Bu güvenlik açığı 7.7.0 sürümünde giderilmiştir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Lychee is a free, open-source photo-management tool. Prior to 7.7.0, GET /docs/api exposes the Scramble-generated OpenAPI documentation configured by config/scramble.php to unauthenticated callers after installation, with observed response size and latency suggesting that the schema is regenerated without an application-level cache. A remote attacker can repeatedly request the unthrottled route to consume server CPU and obtain a detailed map of the API surface and parameter schema. This issue is fixed in version 7.7.0.
