CVE-2026-42884 Details
Description
Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.32.2, the GET /api/collections and GET /api/collections/:id endpoints return collections from all libraries without checking whether the requesting user has access to each collection's library. An authenticated user with access to any library can enumerate and read collections (including full book metadata) from libraries they are explicitly restricted from accessing. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.32.2.
A vulnerability in Audiobookshelf versions prior to 2.32.2 allows authenticated users to bypass library access controls on collection endpoints. The affected GET /api/collections and GET /api/collections/:id endpoints return collections from all libraries without verifying if the user has access to each collection's library. This flaw enables users to enumerate and read collections, including full book metadata, from libraries they are restricted from accessing.
Users can update to Audiobookshelf version 2.34.0, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
