# Immich: shared-link API lets a user share another user's photos

An authenticated Immich user who knows another user's asset ID can attach that photo to their own shared link. The anonymous link then exposes the victim's thumbnail, metadata and original file.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the Immich server version, for example with `docker exec immich_server cat /usr/src/app/package.json` or the image tag in your compose file.
- Review existing shared links for assets you did not create.

## Fix

- Immich: upgrade to `3.2.0` or later.

## From the sources

Immich is a high-performance self-hosted photo and video management solution. Prior to 3.2.0, the shared-link creation API accepted albumId and assetIds as independent fields in server/src/services/shared-link.service.ts but authorized only the resource selected by the requested link type. An authenticated attacker who already knew a victim-owned asset UUID could select SharedLinkType.Album for an attacker-owned album while supplying that UUID in assetIds; SharedLinkService.create() persisted the unchecked association in shared_link_asset and made the victim asset available through the new anonymous shared-link credential. This exposed victim metadata, thumbnails, and the byte-identical original file and created a persistent sharing relationship that could be redistributed. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.0.
