CVE-2026-23896 Details
Description
immich is a high performance self-hosted photo and video management solution. Prior to version 2.5.0, API keys can escalate their own permissions by calling the update endpoint, allowing a low-privilege API key to grant itself full administrative access to the system. Version 2.5.0 fixes the issue.
A vulnerability in Immich prior to version 2.5.0 allows API keys to escalate their permissions. Low-privilege API keys can use the update endpoint to gain full administrative access. This issue arises because the update method does not properly validate whether the API key has the authority to grant the requested permissions. As a result, any user capable of creating an API key can escalate it to have complete administrative rights, leading to unauthorized access to all user data and administrative functions.
Users should update to Immich version 2.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
