CVE-2026-96271 Details
Description
Photoview through 2.4.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the shareAlbum GraphQL mutation that allows authenticated users to create share links for albums owned by other users. Attackers can supply arbitrary album IDs to generate working share tokens for victim albums, exposing photos and sub-albums to anyone with the link while retaining indefinite control over token settings.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in Photoview versions through 2.4.0. This issue resides within the shareAlbum GraphQL mutation, where the ownership verification process is flawed. The current implementation allows authenticated users to create share links for albums owned by others. Users can exploit this by providing arbitrary album IDs to generate share tokens for albums not belonging to them, thereby exposing the photos and sub-albums to anyone with the link. Additionally, the user retains indefinite control over the share token settings.
Users are advised to update to the latest version of Photoview, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
